The seller is highly suspect in all of this. I sent him/her an email about the belt tension pulley and have not heard back. What I find most enlightening is that he/she states they went to ACE Hardware which has replacement belts for $7 (but didn't buy one) and leaves it to the buyer of this machine.
How come my ACE Hardware doesn't carry Edison belts? Al _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
