Seek "New Old Stock" Bellows Cloth
By Mark Forer

Dear MMD:  I'm holding in my hands a swatch of "new old stock" bellows
cloth a rebuilder gave me.  He has only a small piece left from an
original supply of many yards of the stuff.  It has a nice thick
reverse side of white felt that is very thick (1/32")  when compared
with the current version of bellows cloth which feels (and is) a whole
lot thinner.

My question is, "Is there a supplier out there who still has quantities
of the older, thicker, better, bellows cloth?"  Although the old stuff
will work just fine on a Seeburg pump, I'd naturally like to go with
the thicker material.  Can anyone help me out on this?

Thanks,

Mark Forer
