VISIT OUR NEW PAGES ON THIS SITE FOR COMPOUND MAGNETS, DRAWSTOP SOLENOIDS, BELLOWS, PNEUMATIC MOTORS, ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS & KEYBOARDS
WOODEN KEYBOARDS, BELLOWS UNITS & PNEUMATIC MOTORS
We now offer wooden keyboards and a range of single and double rise bellows, and primary action motors. There ia also a releathering service available. See dedicated pages for pictures and consult our price list for details of range available.
SWELL SHUTTER LUGS
Due to lack of demand for swell shutter lugs we are unable to continue to offer these in our range of products as of 01/06/2008. We apologise for any inconvenience which this may cause.
CHEST MAGNETS
We are now offering a 70 ohm version of our standard Chest Magnet for use on higher wind pressures. These are the same price as the standard 140 ohm unit. We also have available a floating armature version of this unit which gives slightly better performance at higher pressure, but with the restriction that it must only be used in the vertical position. There is also a cost saving with this unit. Both chest Magnets can be supplied in corrosion resistant form to order.
CHATTERTON COMPOUND
The manufacturers of this material have now ceased its production in any form which we can use.
Currently we are out of stock but continue to search for an alternative source. If anyone has any knowledge of a source for this material please let us know.
MUSIC DESK HOOKS
Due to lack of demand we are now only offering these items in polished and lacquered, brass finish.
WOODEN DRAWSTOP KNOBS
Wooden Drawstop Knobs with Ivorine inserts are now available in either maple or rosewood. Also available are roswewood drawstop rods.
NEW BRASS TOE PISTONS
Now available, on a made to order basis, are solid brass, turned, Toe Pistons. These can be fitted with either our standard mechanical, phosphor bronze contacts or a reed switch contact. Please see photograph on drawstop knob page. Please contact us for price and delivery details which will be based on quantities required.
DRAWSTOP SOLENOIDS
We now supply , as standard, hard felt armature bearings and graphite coated centre tubes for all of our Drawstop Solenoids. Together these give improved feel and quietness to the action.
Centre mounting flanges are now available for 1" (25mm) units, and new push in connectors can be fitted as optional extra's on all models.
Please see Drawstop Solenoid page for further details.
COMPOUND MAGNETS
We now have available 3/4" and 9/16" Compound Magnets. 1/2" units can be supplied to special order. These are all manufactured using the same design of rigid, glass filled nylon moulded base and cap. We have retained the use of leather for the valves and diaphragm in these units to ensure reliability and long service life.
Samples are available and can be orderd under the order codes FS299, 3/4" and FS230, 9/16".
As the 1/2" and 9/16" units are physically the same size, and share the same footprint, with the 9/16" unit conducting a larger volume of air, we are no longer offering the 1/2" unit as standard, and will substitute the 9/16" unit when 1/2" are ordered, unless there is a specific requirement for 1/2".
As always you will find the price of these units to be extremely competitive. Bothe sizes are available in 24 volt format at no extra cost. All units are available with either hinged or loose armatures, see price list for details.
For further details view the dedicated Compound Magnet page.
LIGHT PALLET MAGNETS
We have expanded our range of Light Pallet Magnets with the introduc tion of FS159, 5/8" (15mm), and FS162, 1" (25mm) pallet sizes, and also a more powerfull 60 ohm coil.
Please specify any of the above when ordering.
HEAVY DUTY LEVER MAGNET
Our Heavy Duty Lever Magnet (see catalogue page on this site for picture) has been substantially modified. The main points of the modifications are as follows:-
Improved, bushed, self lubricating bearing.
Increased magnet strength by reduction in power loss through friction and by the use of a coil return spring.
New fixing hole positions for easier mounting (original holes retained for retrofitting).
Easy and positive adjustment by use of plated steel screw and lock nut.
Quieter action by use of optional cork mounting gasket.
