Universal Player Piano Rewind Belt Problem
By Pete Knobloch

Hi all, I have a customer that has a Universal nickelodeon that has
problems with the rewind belt.  The timing cogs on the belt are being
ripped off due to the brake which stops the bottom take-up roller when
it gets to the start of the roll.  You can hear the belt skipping teeth
when the unit switches from rewind to play.

To solve this I plan to modify the brake so it doesn't grab so tightly.
In the mean time I have to replace this hard to find belt.

Is there anyone out there who has any part numbers and manufactures who
might have these belts?  I plan on calling John Omiatek at QRS Story &
Clark but thought someone else might have this information.
