Hi All,

I have a Theatre of Magic with a spinning tiger saw. The motor spins a post, and on the end of that post is a rubber cylinder. As that rubber cylinder spins, it rubs against a rubber washer that spins the tiger saw. The motor is working fine, but over the years, the rubber cylinder and washer have worn down. Now, when the rubber cylinder spins, it doesn't have enough contact with the rubber washer to spin the saw. I think this should be easily fixed by replacing the two rubber parts.

I've attached a photo of the relevant parts. Does anyone have an idea which parts to get and where to get them? I don't know who made the original parts for this.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Bumping this - new TOM owner here and I have the exact same tiger saw motor setup and problem as the OP. Before I drill some new holes to redesign how this works, I'd love to get someone to comment on where this mod came from and any guidance on replacement parts. TIA as well.
