I am still looking for 2 original handle straps for a 7" record box that I picked up, but in the mean while I was at Ace Hardware and I figured I would try to come up with a temporary fix. I picked up a couple of ¼" pipe straps, hammered them flat, sanded them, and then bent them to shape. I think they came out pretty good. Now I am waiting for the replacement leather strap from "Brettuns Village".
Cheers, Bob S.

Re: Temporary Fix!
Jerry,
This reminds me of your Father.
One time I brought over a part for a machine I had for him to replicate, and he told me he had an old brass faucet he could make the part out of!!! I was shocked, as I knew he wasn't kidding!!
The part came out flawlesly exact to the original, as it always does with a Van Ooteghem!!!

Re: Temporary Fix!
Were you able to match up to the exact screw holes?
Looks like you did. I’m impressed.
