Don Teach wrote that Simplex or Coinola, or any "unit" pneumatics,
should be recovered with cotton-based pneumatic cloth because of the
impossibility of removing PVC-E glue. I agree, but where does one
obtain the old-fashioned stuff? It is my understanding that it is
no longer manufactured. I have a stash of it for doing my Simplex,
but that's about it.
I suspect the ability to find quality rebuilding materials is going
to get even harder as time goes on; I guess my only out is that I'm
getting to the age where I probably won't be able to do rebuilding
(yes, that might be 10 years away, but it's coming!).
