John Robles wrote an article for the GSPS Record about the guy who sells them on eBay. John bought one of the belts for his Fireside, I think, and was very impressed with it.

While doing such, I recall an offering, I think on EBay, of a "rubber" like belt. Now, don't get offended, I know the "organic" phono folk may not appreciate this thread. .. I think it was about $13! A little pricy. I suspect someone has found a "rubber belt" manufactured for something which works well. Does anyone have comments, thoughts and or information like: substance, source, other important info & specifics etc, regarding this "belt" topic? Are there any rules of thumb as to making leather belts such as length of leather: length of the loop: shaping the ends: how much overlap: glue or adhesive: Anything one has to offer would be appreciated.. *smile* Later Bob _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
