Dear Stan;

Take a piece of steel bar stock wide enough to use as a jig and buy some
sheet tin, folding it over the bar and soldering it for a coin chute.
Flattened conduit is tacky and non-original.  Also, you will probably
need round leather belting (some larger hardware stores still carry it,
or write Player Piano Co, Wichita, KS) and belting pliers and hooks.
Use a string to measure the length to travel-  cut your belting about 1-2"
shorter than needed(it will stretch).  Run it for a few hours to "take in"
slack.  Good luck with the project.  I had a style "A" myself once.
