Missing Bell, Smith Premier No. 4
The 1900 Smith Premier No. 4 that I've been working on for ages is missing a bell. By the looks of it, it is a pretty good size bell. Any suggestions where to go about finding a workable replacement? Many thanks in advance....

Re: Missing Bell, Smith Premier No. 4
Is it just the gong that's missing as opposed to the entire bell assembly?
Just an idea, but the first thing that popped into my mind are those electric bells that use similar sized gongs, and are available almost everywhere. You could measure the throw of the hammer as it passes the margin and then calculate the size of gong you would need.
The pronoun I has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.

That's a good idea. I'll give that a try and start looking for those. Thanks, Uwe!
