WANTED: Columbia Q governor weights and springs.

Post by AmberolaAndy »

Ever since I restored my 1901 Columbia Q back in 2018, there’s been this one thing keeping me from calling it a full restoration: replacing the 120+ year old governor weights and springs for a more stable and slightly less warbly reproduction. I remember folks said Ron Sitko sold them but since his passing in April of last year, I would like to know who’s selling Columbia Q governor weights and springs or if anyone has a set they’re willing to sell to me? Thanks as usual folks!

Have you tried the successors to Ron? They are on the forum.

I’ll admit I’m a little behind on that information…😐
