Re: [Phono-L] phonograph belt making
The fellow selling them probably found Audio Visual equipment belts such as would be used on projectors or VCRs that were the right size. They cost a couple of dollars each if you know what you are looking for. It's getting the right one yourself that is the problem. He's already done the hard work.

I went out to EBay and found the belts and read the comments. Seems like a practical item to try. I think I might give them a go. I noticed belts were listed for various machines. So, I assume a belt is for a specific machine. And not universal. Again, thanks to all who commented.

These belts are not rubber but are neoprene. I bought one for my Gem, liked it, and then bought one for my Fireside and Home. They work very well. I tested the speed of the machine with the tachometer and the speed is stable, not like it would be with a rubber belt.

Re: [Phono-L] phonograph belt making
I've been reading all of the comments.I'll stick to using leather belts for my machines. They are easy to make and use.
