Belts are finally done. What a crazy journey but the end result is worth it I think.
I used Sharon Clifton for the restoration at Sharon’s Web in Hawkins, TX. Sharon did a great job on the belts and was the only person that could locate the nearly unobtainium correct webbing in the gold-ish/parchment-ish color used in '70 white decor interiors.
Sharon isn’t fast nor necessarily cheap but I highly recommend her for this type of work. Note that I did not have her do anything to the hardware though she offers that service too.
