Front belt Cover Plate for Vintage Royal Upright

[cynthia]

You seem to really know your stuff so I am hoping you can help. I just bought a Royal metal upright Anniversary Edition #85103 at an estate auction for $6.00. It works great but is missing the round front belt cover plate. I can't seem to find one for it. I don't really need it to be the adjust-o-rite thing, just a cover. Do you know of a cover that would work? If not, I'll have to resort to duck tape, which will delight my husband to no end! Thanks so much.

Here's one-it's not an exact color match but it should work. It does have the adjust-o-rite feature, I wonder if the flap that newer commercial Royals use (w/out the adjust-o-rite) would work-someone else might be able to answer that question.

That site will actually be quite helpful to me also. Thanks!

adjust -o- rite

I have an extra, It might be for an older model than yours, but the hole is the same. $7 shipped.

Cynthia, and Kurt,

The 85103 apparently used the same light blue Adjust-O-Rite cover plate as models 790, 880, 881, 883, 884 and pre-1991 886/887 models.

The exact original part number was: 2-080169-200.
