[AMRadio] Replacement Part Query

[CL in NC]

Here's a cheap fix...on the Apache I found along side the road in a ditch, and put back on the air where it has been for 16 years, I used an old broken retractable measuring tape, knew it would come in handy for something.  I just pulled out enough to wrap around the pulleys, and cut with scissors.  One thing I have that you might not, is a hole punch for metal with 8 sizes of punches and anvils, so that made punching the holes simple.  Drilling is difficult but you can sandwich the metal between 2 other pieces of thin aluminum and then drill it, that would eliminate the tear hazard.  I was not exact with the measurement so I do have a little backlash in the control but it works fine just the same.
