Thornes TD125 MKII Belt Size

I have been reading a few postings and have read recommendations made for the purchase of an original Thorens belt. Based on all the information given, I am taken that recommendation. I went to site that sold the Thorens belts and found that they mentioned the TD125, but not the TD125 MKII. I sent for information on the belt length and the was given 510mm (20"). I measured the circumference using a 1/4" ribbon and it found it to be 22 1/4". That is more than 2" difference.

Does anyone know what size the belt should be for my table? :scratch2:

I hate to get the wrong size and therefore I am weighing in on all you "heavy hitters" to set me straight.:thmbsp:

Thanks.

Get the 20" belt. The additional 2-1/4" is for tension. The differences between the various TD125 and TD126 models were with bearings, motors, electronics and arms. The bases and other major parts were the same.
 
Thanks Graham.

I knew that there was supposed to be tension, but I did not know it was that much. The guy from Acoustic Sound said that the Thorens belt he has works on his table which is a TD125 MKII.

In the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word may be established.

George, how do you like that turntable? What cart are you running on it? Good luck with that belt replacement.
