I'm working on a Columbia BD for a friend of mine. It is missing its governor weights. Since this is the very large Columbia motor, (as compared to its sister machine, the BJ), I'm wondering if it still uses the the "typical" weight with the oval cross section, or the heavier "bun shaped" weight. Can someone please post a picture of your BD governor, or give some guidance as to which weight is correct?

The oval cross section style weight... Or, the "bun shaped" weight...

Anyone? No Columbia BD's out there?

Hi Jerry , My BD has the oval cross section style weight, as pictured in your first photo. Larry

You just have to beg more her....
Sorry about the grunge haven't touch this one in the 25 years I've owned it.
