I would like to publically thank Mike Tucker for enlightening me. I have only had to work with the feedscrews on my very early machines and never looked closely at the later feedscrews. Mike suggested I get a USB microscope for my computer. It arrived last week and I began to look over

Neoprene, which is the generic brand name for chloroprene, has a life of 15 years according to NASA specs. But, those specs are for non-flexing O rings under compression and not exposed to air. I suspect a neoprene belt would do a great job and not have the problem a leather belt with a

So here's a question: Will the original half-nut on an original early Triumph A properly fit the feed screw that comes with an Edison add-on 2/4 set-up that was made for the model B? Andy On Aug 27, 2011, at 6:06 PM, Rich wrote: Take a look at an early Triumph A. Or a long case red banner

My thanks to Al for his kind words. The challenge now is to try to determine the cut-off point for the buttress thread. Rich, I have a Red Banner Long Case Home in fantastic condition which came with the original mandrel in the conversion box - obviously little used. It clearly has the 60

Have just checked the Home Suitcase with brass mandrel and it is also 60 deg V. This would indicate that the change took place before 1900 and that A Triumphs are most likely to also be 60 deg V - sorry, don't have one to check. Mike Tucker ___

Ok I'll toss in some more data: the original halfnut on my branded case gem (early gem-only reproducer) has a different pitch than that of the later A/B carriage I sometimes fit to it. I use that carriage so I can use a B or C reproducer on it. Sent from my iPhone -- Peter pjfra...@mac.com

I don't know about everybody else, but I got mine from a piano supply company.I think it's used for player pianos. It is like what they call lining leather at Tandy, but lining leather is a bit stretchy. If you have a Tandy Leather store nearby, they are a great outlet for leather of all types.
