It needs a new belt. At 350.00 I would still have to pay to ship it me and pay for a new belt...Be around 500.00 or so I'd guess in the end.
Would be fun to work on it for sure..it is nice.

a belt is just a piece of leather... I use a piece of scrap leather I bought to a guy repairing leather coats.
cut a strip of the desired width, cut it to lenght, bevel the edges and glue with Crazy glue gel. I also clamp the joint with a C clamp to make sure it's a real good bond and the junction is flat.

also keep in mind it comes with an original crane and horn.

keep in mind I am no where near NJ...heh

Not even possible for me...so have at it....great find.

I just found out that I'm second in line. Someone is going to look at it this morning and if they don't take it I get it. Not feeling to good about it. Oh well wee see.

Just got an email that the first in line took it. No surprise. Thanks for heads up.
