Burgess Spares

[Wardies]

HELP!!

I'm still trying desperately to find a source for the following bits for my elderly but (apart from these bits) fully serviceable Burgess BK1 saw.

I need a drive belt, and large driven wheel.

I live in Spain but UK source no problem.

Grateful for any info - seems a shame to "bin it" for a few spares.

I suspect you will have trouble getting these pieces, as it's a long time since Burgess were making bandsaws. Record bought out the design some 15-20 years ago, so it's JUST possible that they will still have spares. Certainly worth a try. Otherwise, the belt may be a standard size, try your local Yellow pages, or whatever that is in Spanish for Power transmission or Bearing suppliers (who often also sell belts) and take the original as a pattern. The cog you just might get from a similar source, but I would be surprised.
Sorry not to be more encouraging

Hi,

Thanks very much for the info. I thought that I was a little optimistic with this elderly machine but it seemed a shame to scrap it. I'll give record a try anyway,

Again my thanks.
