There are more sources for the chains than Regina, just where are they?
The chain in the stretcher, and the new Regina, both have Regina stamped on the side plates.
The lighter coloured chain on the white box has no ID stamps on the side plates at all. I bought 2 of these chains about 15 years ago from Alto, and they came as a pair in this box. The stamping patterns on the pin ends are way different. The sgn number on the box, is the number on the small labels on the box.
The chain, top right, on the towell, has Morse stamped on the side plates, and has marginally bigger rollers and marginally thicker side plates, but the same stamping pattern on the pin ends as the Regina.

None of the above means much to me, but i put it up as it may mean something to someone. And Ben must know where he got the 2 unbranded chains, so if someone knows him well....

Regards, Greg

Good post, Greg. I had been under the impression that only Regina ever made this size chain, so what you say is certainly interesting.

Thanks for offering to get in touch with Ben, Andy. If anyone can shed any light, that would be good ...🤞.
 
While i have a post going, can anyone tell me what the valve angle on a zane 750S is? I want to set up dial guages on the cams, and i dont want to pull a head off to measure the valve angles for the jig. Thanks, Greg
