This is the Keystone 100G. I don't know the names of the parts, but the arrow points to a rubber piece that will no longer engage the big flywheel. It is cracked, no longer makes contact with the motor spindle, and has changed shape. Is there a replacement part for this or is it time to start stacking rubber bands?

Problem solved! My buddies down at the Maintenance Barn hooked me up with some donut shaped rubber washers (like you can get for garden hoses)--worked perfectly!

Nice work!

This hobby has long passed the stage of the game where new replacement parts are no further away than the local Sears (-and they are closing our Sears, too!).

-Either you recondition the old part, fabricate a new one or adapt something adaptable!

Sometimes you have to admire people that restore old cars. You need a front fender for a hundred year old Model T Ford? UPS can put a brand new one on your front porch in a week or so.

-need a set of film guides for a 40 year old movie projector?

-Good Luck!
