We all have at least one or two pet projects in this hobby that drive you crazy. I have a beautiful, perfectly restored Columbia BD which is missing the nickel turntable trim ring. I have been unsuccessful in finding a replacement - original or reproduction. I was given the excellent idea of finding a clock bezel that, with tabs added, would serve as a reproduction trim ring. I have someone who can add the tabs and I assume I can find someone to nickel plate the stock brass bezel and tabs.
Where I need help: What are the exact measurements of a BD trim ring? I need both the outside and inside opening dimensions as well as the overall height. I am guessing that the original was about 13.25" outside diameter, 12.5" inside opening and 0.75" in approximate height, but I am not sure & don't want to contact every clock parts supplier in the US until I know the exact measurements. I suppose if there was enough interest, I could have several of these made - assuming I can find an appropriate bezel. Thanks everyone for your help. Greg Caringi drgr...@msn.com
