WMcD Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 I lost track of the tread on turn table drive belts. I'm trying to fix up a Technics CD player. There is a small drive belt beween a drive motor and the rack and cam which works the drawer. The belt is smaller than the stuff shown in Parts Express. The action of the drawer is sluggish and I suspect the drive belt has stretched. Hence I'd like to replace it. Any pointers to "Tiny Drive Belts are Us."???

Mighty Favog Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Gil, When I was rejuvinating my Yamaha PF-800 turntable I found that nobody local carrys belts anymore. So I got rather ticked and called Yamaha and priced a couple from them. Two belts with shipping came to about $40! OUCH!! I bit the (45ACP) bullet and got them anyway. This was all before I knew about Parts Express. I've been told by my friend/service tech that the factory parts last longer than aftermarket. I can only take his word on that.

nortynorty Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 I recently replaced the belt which controls the drawer on my Adcom GCD-200. I bought the part from Adcom directly. While they no longer manufacture that exact part, they said the belt for their GCD-600 would work. It is a bit thicker and I suspect a bit more taut (the drawer operates slower now). The cost of the belt was $3.50 and the total price with shipping was $12.00. They were very prompt in processing the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted September 28, 2001 Author Share Posted September 28, 2001 Thanks, I'll poke around further. Whoops, this is a Yami unit and my memory cap was not on when I wrote. It is shame that this is basically a good performer which might be out of order because of a very simple mechanical component failure. Not like a chip went bad.

johnnyp Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Gil, You also may want to try MCM Electronics: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/welcome.jhtml (just hit "Go" to enter their website as a guest -- not necessary to register). My search for "belt" on their site resulted in more than 580 different belts (VCRs, turntables, etc). Most belts are listed by size. ------------------ John Packard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
