Hi,
A student of mine has a York Master with a bell front and is looking to get an upright bell. Does anyone know where he might be able to get one? The serial # is 661XXX (don't know if that helps or not) and according to his measurements the base of the bell he has now is 6 1/2 inches.
Thanks for your help,
Bill

I think you'll find this quite a challenge. The bell ring is not common to other sizes, and the bell itself is quite short compared to, say, a King 1241.
Your only choice may be to have something custom made. I can provide measurements if you need them.

Check you PM box. We can build one with an original bell tenon that we have in stock.
