I've just been given a broken one of these - first problem is the belt
is
cracked, rigid, like plastic. Never seen likes before.

I've written to the manufacturer in Germany (they still make them it
seems) - does anyone have a preferred supplier as an alternative?

Thanks, Rob

**Depends on where you are. Here in Australia, there are several sources.
Prices range from around AUS$6.00. Dunno about other places. Seek out a
trade supplier to repair organisations. They'll likely stock a wide range
of
belts, one of which will be suitable.



UK. Aye, plenty of alternatives, but it's not clear which are worth a go.
I've just bought one for £6 from a well rated ebay seller, see how that
goes.

Thanks anyway, Rob

**Ebay sellers of such things are, almost invariably, rip-offs. Much better
to locate a suitable supplier to the trade.



Hence the OP, I'll just have to see.

The cheapest alternative I could get was ITRO £20 and I really had no
way of knowing quality. This ebay seller has 30000 odd positive feedback
selling largeley turntable bits. Thought it might be a chance worth
taking given the TT has thrown up a few other problems.
