We have a parlor cabinet that has a flat leather belt for lifting the machine. err had. It is awaiting my fixing it. luckily I found a dog lead with flat leather that is the right width. However. The belt is just for lifting it out. There are wooden pieces that support the head once it is in place. Cabinet is now holding the Christmas tree so you'll have to wait a bit.
