Need Scholer/old German Style Reed Pan/slate & Buttons Whatever

[sputnik]

I have an old german concertina (quite old, all wood but as typical - shoddily made) it's actually been repaired (one reed replaced with a brass reed!) but another has since broke.

 

I'm in need of parts I guess. I'd like to fix this one up.

 

I do have another concertina that I play, so this is just for the sake of fixing something so old...

 

I need about 4 buttons (the style with the leather strip glued to the bottom) and more importantly I need some replacement reed slate things.

 

I'm sure someone out there has either some parts hanging around or a very sorry beater they're looking to let go for cheap.

 

prefer to pay via paypal.

thanks!

I've PM'd you re spare parts, but just saw your other post. Is it the Campbell (?) concertina that you are looking for parts for? If so, does it have the long plate reeds (Long brass or zinc plates with multiple reeds like a harmonica), or individual reed blocks for each button?

 

I have restored a nineteenth century Henry Harley concertina (I think there are still pictures on here) with long plate reeds. Like Campbell, Harley tarted up German concertinas to make them more appealing to the English market.
