BA Cylinder Reamer

[victor78]

Hello All,

I came into a large lot of BA cylinders recently. Im now looking for a reamer as some need a little 'fine tuning' to fit the mandrel. Can anyone shed light as to where these are sold?

Thanks for the help!

APSCO sell them at $49 a pop. I think they're cheaper on Ebay?
I actually use a rusty dictaphone mandrel to do mine. It works fine & you dont have to worry about the sandpaper wearing out

Thanks Shane, I don't believe I missed that as I looked at that page . Wow, time for new glass's I guess. I did see the one being sold on eBay, thought it was a bit pricey, but a few bucks cheaper than APSCO. At least I know now that they are in the same price range. My dad always used an old mandrel to 'test fit' while reaming as well.

Along with the cylinders came an Amberola 30, and an Amberola DX. Traded the 30 for a Credenza and am currently working on the DX. It's missing the front grill and the top rear grill. The front one I have, but needs to be wood grained. Someone at sometime had spilled a lot of shellac on the machine and ran down into the motor. A new spring from George Vollema and I had it up and running. Great machine!

Now, off to get a reamer and listen to some more of the great cylinders. Thanks again Shane!
