following:

I am rebuilding a Powermatic model 91 (Same as a model 90 except with riser

​Wait a minute.  You're rebuilding a model 91 and you're telling us it has
riser blocks.  You then say the belt needs to be longer, which makes
perfect sense, but does that mean you don't have the old belt to measure or
compare?

I am need of a new belt for the variable speed drive and have struck out
> with Powermatic since they no longer support this older machine.

​...we...wheeze...need...gasp...more...cough...input!  Pictures and dims of
the old belt, maybe?

Is this still the Reeves pulley drive system?

​<our hero holds it up>  How long is this piece of string?​
