Do you still have the originals, or all of the pieces?
Fred at marrscommunications will typically be able to come up with a kit if you give him some info on cross-section (round/square/flat), and dimensions (width/length). Also if you send him the originals he can match them up no problem.
Keep us posted on what you find out; I have an ELC and an ELC-II here that could both use a new set of belts.

all the belts look fine except for the main drive belt. it's stretched out and slips on the flywheel. i'm thinking of using a big rubber band to try a temp. fix and see if it still plays before i sink money into it. the unit it's self looks in excellent condition.

just got a catalog from the maint. man where i work. it's from mcm electronics. it has belts for almost anything. it even has a guide to size your belts so you get the right ones. web site is MCMelectronics.com. i think i'll try there. now how do i get the old belt off? i have the deck all taken apart. but i haven't taken the tape transport apart yet. is there a easy way? it looks like i need to really tear it apart to get the belt out. thanks!

Fish fingers and custard!
Look on the back of the capstan motor. If the case has a hole in it, insert a small flat blade screwdriver through the hole, being careful not to touch the metal case withe the screwdriver, and adjust the pot inside. To do this right, you need a 3.15KHz speed adjustment tape and a frequency counter.

Ok, i used MCM Electronics. the drive belt is 9.75 X 0.02 and i used a vcr belt replacement kit and just sized them up by eye and took off a little for stretch.
Cost me about $45 for everything.

Thanks, I appreciate that...
Also I would MUCH rather deal with MCM (or another reputable online seller like Marrscommunications) than www.kenselectronics.com, that guy is a little difficult to do business with.

No problem. Just take lots of pics while you or your buddy take it apart. It's a mess when it's all disassembled.
