Hi all, I'd like to get my wife's old turntable up and running for the holidays. It's a Dual CS505-2 and I need a new belt. Any favorite places to buy such gear. I'm in the US. I found LPgear selling it for ~$20. I didn't look much further 'cause I figured I could ask here.



Thanks,

George,



I generally get my Dual parts from South Street Service

who are an excellent choice for Dual parts in general. Some of the

aftermarket belts are of questionable fit and quality. Don't forget to

clean the drive surfaces of old rubber before installing the new belt.

Also, at this age, the turntable may need a general maintenance service

and lubrication.

Tim is right. Back when I was in audio repair, PRB belts would

sometimes double the wow and flutter of some cassette decks and

turntables than if the original belts were used.

Hi guys, Thanks for all the responses. I was a bit it a hurry to get something ordered so I just went with an online place. (Vintage electronics IIRC)
