Debut Bayan White button.

[Edward Jennings]

I have this CBA from Russia, I'm reliably informed that it's a "Debut" B-griff, from (probably) the 1970's.
It's no use to me, so I intend to sell it. The only thing that may hold it back, is that there is a broken white button.
Is there a kind person on here who could help me out?
Also, would anyone care to make me an offer for it? It doesn't stand me much, so it won't be expensive at all.

I did not realise these were 3/4-sized.

Can the buttons be unscrewed? If not, some creative gluing or 3d printing of the base might be required.

If this is 3/4 size, I'd hate to try and handle a full sized one!

I haven't tried to get the broken bit out yet; I'd hoped to see a whole one to see how it's attached.

Small & light it is, and that's really in vogue these days. There's a couple folk popping up on this forum every month looking for a small CBA. You might find a buyer for it very fast, even if it needs a wee trip to a fettler for a service and a new button.

What diameter is the button? I may have spare screw-on buttons that can fit.

As near as I can measure; 16.8 mm

Let me check what I have and I will get back to you.

Thank you.

 

[oldbayan]

Thank you.

The ones I have are 15mm with the screw on the button.

It's just the system, not sure if it would fit the shaft. Your pic seems to show that the screw is on the shaft, not the button. Can you confirm?

 

[Edward Jennings]

Ah! Thanks for checking, anyway.
I haven't had a good look at the broken one yet, as I'm away till next Monday. But it looks like it may be either a female screw-on or even a push-on fit. We'll see eventually!

All I can see at the mo' is the same picture as you. I'm in Corfu and the box is in Windy Nook in England. I'm back home on Monday night.
