The chain for my Weeden #646 doesn't seem to fit well.  The chain itself seems like the proper design but doesn't match up to the wheel's teeth, it is just slightly offset on the teeth.  It is also a bit loose so it tends to come off.

On Frank's site for Weeden parts there was a link to Carol and Dallas' Antique Toys where Dallas sold Weeden roller chains, the only source known.  I had emailed Dallas a few times but found on a Google search he sadly passed away late last year.  While the website is still up, it is unlikely the chain can can be bought.

Might anyone have bought a few from this source and have an extra they could let loose of?

The collector that I got the chain from also had Dallas mailing address from the order.  He gave that to me too.  I sent Carol a letter and she responded back to me a bit ago via email.  She still has the chain but hasn't been able to get into the website to update the contact information.

I put her in contact with Frank / @Weedensteam and I believe they will have a conversation about what is left of the chain Dallas had re-designed / custom made.  Hopefully he can work a deal to buy the stock or at the very least be able to list on his website how to contact Carol for a Weeden roller chain!
