Belt Sanding belts-- 4x52 (post #89653)

Does anyone know where to find sanding belts that are 4 inch by 50-53 inch long? This is for an old Walker Turner belt/disk sander of unknown vintage. It doesn't seem like Norton or 3M have part numbers for something like this.

Econ-Abrasives makes custom belts and they're very reasonably priced. You'll find the price of their belts less than your local hardware supplier pays wholesale--and they're first quality belts.

Econ-Abrasives has advertised in
i Fine Woodworking
for years and is one of the best suppliers I've located through the magazine. They don't have a web site that I know of but their phone number is

Mark,
 did you ever find an answer to your question about the old Walker Turner sander?  I think I may have the same machine myself.  I inherited it from my Dad so it's likely older than I am.  What I'm curious about is the adjustment mechanism.  If you've been successful in finding a belt and installing it correctly on the machine, would you be willing to take a photo of the adjustment mechanism to show me how it looks in working condition?  My Dad had a tendency to jury-rig a lot of his equipment and somehow, I wonder if this one has been modified from it's original condition.
