Hello,
I have placed a bid on a PS-2410 in Japan. I should be the owner later tonight.
In any case, it does not come with a belt. I have been doing some research, as well as writing to several vendors that sell vintage belts. Unfortunately, I'm not finding any info on the belt I need to purchase.
I believe it's a 25" belt, that's all I have got at this point.
I even wrote to a seller on US Audio Market that sold a PS-2410 with a new belt, a few years ago, but no reply.

Can anyone help me out...Please?
I'd like to purchase a belt prior to receiving the table if possible.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Bumping this thread up. I’m looking at a very good condition Sony PS2410 that’s running way slow. At 33 it runs at 26. At 45 it runs at around 31rpm. I figured it’s the belt but i have no clue as to what the proper belt size is. I have a PS2310 but the pulley on this is different from the 2410. Anyway, i decided to try the 2310 belt on the 2410 and it didn’t spin at all. So that belt was probably too tight? Another thing i noticed was the strobe lamp wasn’t “adjusting” when i played with the speed knob. Is this also due to a loose belt? I would like to try a proper belt to see if this problem is solved but i have no clue of its dimensions. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Offhand I don't know the belt size but I bet it's the same as the 2400. I can try to pull mine out to check. And yes, the pulley size on the 2400 or 2410 is quite a bit larger than the 2310 and most other belt drives.

I would appreciate that very much sir! Yes, i would think the 2400 and 2410 belts would be the same. I saw this one on LP Gear. I’m thinking of trying it out.

I had a look at my belt. It's probably due for replacement anyway as it measures a bit over 25". I had a vague recollection that it was a 25 incher anyway.
 
Not that I know of. The circuits for belt vs direct drive are quite different so they can't be compared. Servo motor circuits (as in the Sony) are more complex than synchronous types but I don't think they are prone to failure.
 
I finally got to work on this defective 2410. At first it was running real slow, around 24rpm. I figured it might be the belt, but upon measuring it, it seems I have the correct size at roughly 25 inches. I sprayed the speed pots with deoxit and played with the controls, twisting and turning them back and forth a couple of times. After a couple of tries, i finally got the 33rpm to work, although i’m getting varying speeds of 33.2 to 33.6. No biggie i guess. My problem now is i couldn’t get the 45 to run properly. I’m getting only 34rpm. I tried cleaning the 45 pot again but got the same result. Any ideas why this is happening? Looking forward to you replies.

Another question, are these decks prone to dying electronics like their direct drive counterparts?

I don't know where you read this, but I've owned several manual Sony decks. None have had failing electronics, not like the automatic or linear-tracking ones.

Now, I've read several stories (actually more than a few, unfortunately) of people who have tried to restore or upgrade turntable electronics (which were running fine), only to ruin them. Then, come online claiming their turntables are prone to failure. :idea:

I’ve been googling about these “same era” Sony decks and i remember reading a post about a 2400/2410 working perfectly “until it died on me”. Or maybe it was about those direct drives…i’ll try to look for it. I haven’t touched the electronics on this as i’m not knowledgeable in that haha. Anyway, it’s just weird that i’m getting almost correct speeds at 33 and so far off 45. This deck wasn’t used for around 7-10 years and just stored unnoticed in a vintage shop. Maybe the caps need to be woken up or something? So frustrating as i really wanna buy this specially because it’s still in very good condition aesthetically. It would be nice to have it side by side with my direct drive 2500.
