REK O KUT turntable idler wheels ???

laherbau

This guy is on EBay and carries new idlers for a few different models.

There is a vendor in Italy that makes idlers for a few different models too.
I asked him for an Idler on a Presto. 

A LOT of the idler parts are interchangeable with Rek-o-kut, Empire, Russco, QRK, Sparta, 412 Fairchild, Harris, Gates and Presto.

I'll hunt that up for you too, he use to be on EBay, but I knew him before there was an internet.. His son now I think, maybe a grandson. He would be about 550 years old now, he was 500 years old 50 years ago. :-)

I had 2 16" cutters one Presto and one Rek-o-Nut that I keep going for 20+ years..  I just liked my Fairchild 750 better

I had 25 made for rim drive Russcos when there were no CnC that I knew of. I paid 20.00 each and the guy turned all of them out in 3 or 4 night after work for me.. He set them up for O-Rings and you just had to find a quiet piece of rope, index, glue and polish the rope. I used BR, Silicone, natural rubber, neoprene, and Nitrile. Softer silicone rope is still my favorite.

There is a guy here on AG that is a machinist. billwojo PM him see what he thinks? He has a few neat little rim drive projects going.. 

Russco and Gates I think.. Maybe Harris..

Don't we all :-)

This is a guy I've used for years and years.. Ask him, OR have the sizes in metric and he might be the one..
