I am desparately seeking an old Yale 570 Brass door closer. The 570 is the really small model pot belly door closer. Don’t care if it is used or new old stock. Don’t care if it is painted, so long as it’s brass underneath. Anybody demoing an old place with those old pot bellied door closer. Also, if you find a Sargent or Russwin that it really small, I’m interested. Please guys, if you come across any of these, let me know. And save all the parts, including the screws.
Thanks, brothers.

I've got a comm. door supplier that might have one hiding on a shelf. How old is that model number? I'll be going near there today and will stop and ask. What do you mean by "small"?

Hey Calvin. These were the smallest of commercial closers. Application was usually for a storm door or similar. They came in brass and base metal. I am desparately trying to find the brass model. It was last made in the 50's from what I'm told. I found a base metal model under a shelf in the back of a warehouse in upstate NY, but can't find the damn brass model. And I know that thousands of these things have been taken off and tossed.
Really appreciate your asking. Let me know.

Thanks for the link, but I've already been there. Spoke with a guy named Greg, who's the maven for old pot bellied closers. He couldn't help me, but we had a great talk about old door closers.
But thanks for thinking of me.

I am really only looking for parts but if they are fairly complete and basicaslly functional, I would probably buy them from you. How much???
