I have used one of his belts on a Triumph B. With an imperfectly sized and
joined leather belt it ran poorly with too much wow and I couldn't quite get
it right. With this it runs reliably, no issues at all. I'm not sure how
long it will last before the rubber stiffens, but for now it's my workhorse
machine.

Subject: [Phono-L] phonograph belt making
Phono Listers:
I am working on a Edison Standard and at the point I need to make a belt.
While doing such, I recall an offering, I think on EBay, of a "rubber"
like
belt. Now, don't get offended, I know the "organic" phono folk may not
appreciate this thread. ..
I think it was about $13! A little pricy. I suspect someone has found a
"rubber belt" manufactured for something which works well.
Does anyone have comments, thoughts and or information like: substance,
source, other important info & specifics etc, regarding this "belt" topic?
Are there any rules of thumb as to making leather belts such as length of
leather: length of the loop: shaping the ends: how much overlap: glue or
adhesive:
Anything one has to offer would be appreciated..
*smile*
Later
Bob
