So I have a weird leather care/possible replacement question. My gf is restoring an old belt driven printing press. We don't know how old the belt is (press is from 1927 at the latest, and former owner got the belt with it over 20 years ago) but it seems in good shape. She soaked it with neeksfoot oil to start with, but I'm wondering what else would be best for long term care. It'll connect the flywheel to the electric motor on the machine. If we took it to someone who knew what they were doing (Baltimore, so Richmond would be possible) could someone make a new one if needed?
