Hi Tim
Thought I'd replied earlier, but it doesn't seem to have got
through...

A couple of things used for motor-platter linkage on 'high end d-i-y'
turntables a

- fishing line, tied with a reef knot
- dental floss, tied similarly I guess

Seems bizzare, I know, but these are supposed to sound _better_ than a
belt. I'd imagine how well this works depends on the diameter and shape
of your motor pulley amongst other things. Might be worth a try...

I dug out an old Hitachi turntable but the belt had turned into

could find was either too tight (short) or narrow (this deck needs

about .5mm thick)?

Anyone suggested CPC yet? They have a range at reasonable prices.

You're the first John ... thanks, I'll look ..
