The nylon chain in my H model has failed. Can someone put me on to a
source of the metal chain used in older models. 73. WC4G

I found a supplier for the exact chain; it's not smallparts.com, and the
catalog's at work. I'll follow up tomorrow from there.

It's carried by Stock Drive Products (www.sdp-si.com) as "miniature
roller chains - .1475 pitch", in their handbook 790-2: "inch drive
components". It comes in various lengths, from 50 through 240 links in
steps of 10 links. There's also a connecting link and a bushing link.
Each chain comes with one connecting link.

It's _very_ pricey, but for the R-1051, nothing but .1475" pitch will
do, and the nylon stuff just doesn't stand up to the strain.

E-mail is , phone is 516-328-3300, and fax is
516-326-8827.

Good luck & 73, de
