Need new tires for drapery motors 89 WB pt40

[KP Marsh]

We are having some problems with the drive wheel on the drapery motors on the
front of the coach. Units are original controlers made by Lightwood Mfg,
Clackamas, OR. Tried to locate them on internet and it appears that the company
has been bought out. At the suggestion of other members on one of the sites we
ordered tires from Kirsch dealer, but found that the new tires are too small for
our rollers. NowI am sure that we are not the only ones to have to have similar
experience. Does anyone have a source of new tire for these units. The drive
tire has an inside diameter of 11/16". The tires I received are 5/8"I.D. Kirsch
tires are also very thick, while the old tires are only about 1/8" thick and
deeply groved causing the cords to slip.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
