    old 1990s Sony CFS-W470S boombox

    "Hello friends. I have an old 1990s Sony CFS-W470S boombox. Recently, I wanted to listen to compact cassettes again. But of course, the rubber belts are no longer functional. I removed the cover and saw a confusing situation. I removed three belts and will look for replacements. One belt is...

    Sony Deck Belt Sizes

    I re-belted my TC-K679ES and along the way I collected some info on Sony deck belts sizes that I thought I'd pass along. Take my belt size estimates with a grain of salt.

    Difficulty sourcing belt for 'new' Empire 598iii--anyone made a recent purchase?

    I paid 'retail' for a Kijiji Empire 598iii, in minty condition--usual finish issue on head shell, and tone arm tube. I've had it for six weeks, it's ready to go, just as soon as I get a proper belt. Three isolator grommets, and 3v-6v bulb would be a bonus. Edit: not here to slag anyone, but...

    Hello and good morning! I have a Thorens TD 145 mk1 that I cannot get the platter to “bite” on startup. It spins fine, but I have to push the platter to get it going, otherwise it slips on the motor spindle. Once going it spins at 33.3. I have a brand new Thorens belt too. Spindle and platter...

    What Belt for Denon DCD-570?

    Help! I need to replace the belt on my Denon DCD-570 CD player. Anybody know which belt? The service manual gives a Denon part number as 423 0056 011. (It's reference # 12 in the list of parts for the FG-50 transport mechanism, on page 30 of the service manual.) That's useless in terms of...

    Rega RP1 replacement belt in Canada?

    I bought my Rega RP1 used in 2013 and it's now running a little slow at 32.xx rpm (and the belt seems overly slack). I thought it would be easy to order an standard black belt through Amazon.ca or eBay, but I'm not finding a ton of authentic belts available. Is $33.40 CDN a fair price? Has...

    Systemdek 2 (or II) Belt recommendation

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a supplier of good turntable belts? Also, the existing belt has begun to ride out of position on the drive pulley. It tends to ride down a bit to towards the 45rpm slot and so turns the platter at a higher speed. Will a new belt probably fix this? Or can anyone offer...

    Thorens Belt vs. Thakker Belt

    Bought a Thorens TD147 with new Thakker belt. Checked speed and realized it was running a little fast. Ordered Thorens belt and just installed it today. The speed was dead on 33.33 rpm down from 33.52 (before adjusting azimuth I was in the 33.65 range). So if you’re having speed issues with...
