soldner wheel belt question

updated mon 23 oct 00

 

Michelle Lowe on sat 21 oct 00


I removed the belt from my Soldner P-200 to replace it (some kids held it
and stretched a spot in the old one)...now wondering exactly where to find
a replacement belt, anyone able to give me a clue?

Thanks!

Hey, to answer my own question, auto parts store found me one, tout suite!


In the words of the late Gilda Radner "Never mind!"

Go to Track Auto or PepBoys or someplace like that and
try to make a match.. I wouldn't be supprised if it
was a fan belt given the earlier construction of
Soldner's machines.. I mean really the first personal
clay mixer was a bread dough mixer and then the
sturdier one when the bread mixers were becoming
obselete, was made including a plymouth (I believe he
said plymouth) drive axle..

Soldner mentioned in his workshop that his
wheels contain many automotive components and
I believe the belt is the same as that used
in a car.
