Hi there, I've purchased a few belt kits off ebay before and they've all been pretty cheap and terrible, Does anyone know a particular kit that's really good quality and good variety of sizes? Thanks.
My last attempt was with "japaneawesome" seller, I figured that belts coming from Japan should be of better quality. I was so convinced that Rubber belt cassette recorder repair maintenance repair replacement will be usable that I bought two kits. Sadly, its the same $&!# as all my previous belt kits Right now, when I need a belt I buy it individually from Turntable Needles or Consolidated Electronics
I haven't had to buy belts after buying a repair shop's inventory a few years ago but these two companies have been kicking around for years and I'd probably try them for an oddball size. https://marrscommunications.com/ http://www.russellind.com/ The second one does have a PDF catalog on it but it's very hard to find, here's a link to one of the pages, you really have to search to find the full catalog, I've downloaded it from here but you have to find it. PRB was a belt manufacturer in Wisconson that they acquired. http://www.russellind.com/prbline/index.html Try this, I'm searching the site with google for pdf's... http://russellind.com/client/download/prb_line.pdf Russell has a ton of parts, I'm pretty sure they are still in business but the website is 17 years old!
I've found if you can get them out, MCM Online will usually have a replacement to match it. The hardest part is just measuring the loop size... but once that's done, it's all easy-peasy.
