Seek Ladder Chain Sprockets
By Ed Gaida

I have a player mechanism in the shop that I have never seen before
and is not in Durrell's "Top 50".  The main problem is that someone has
taken all the ladder chain sprockets, save one, from the wind motor and
transmission frame.

Does anyone have any sprockets that I could buy?  I calculate that
I would need two 14-tooth sprockets and one 28-tooth sprocket to give
me a decent ratio.

With over thirty years in this business, you would think I would have
a ton of them, but I do not.  Boston Gear has dropped ladder chain
sprockets from their gear line and I am unable to figure out just what
size I would need from Stock Drive.

These take the _standard_ ladder chain, not the smaller kind used on
the Baldwin actions.

Any help would be appreciated.
