Online Supplier of belts?
Since my local source for belts (Main Electronics) closed a while back I have been unable to replace belts in stuff I get in or have started showing the signs of needing a new belt.
It was great. If you knew the model of the device they had a phonebook sized directory listing off all the belts that deice needed and if it was not in there if you measured out the original belt size with string, brought that in and they would find a close match. What is there in regards to something similar online? I have found people for various items selling belt sets with a markup but outside of kits I've been running into problems with belts on oddball items. Does anyone have a go-to site they can suggest for their belts? |

I'm yet to order anything from here but I found it quite some time ago and it seems promising:

Yeah that seems to be sufficient. They even go into detail on how to measure the belt so you can supply them with the right information.

Studio Sound Electronics is liquidating their entire supply of belts. Looks like VCR collecting is dead unless somebody else can supply VCR belts. I think SSE was the only VCR belt supplier in town.

Thanks for this information, I didn't know SSE was discontinuing their belt stock. I just placed one last order with them. eBay is another option for belts.

If you know the mechanical spec of the original, then it may be possible to make a mold and cast new ones out of silicone. There are videos about making jumbo silicone o-rings on you tube a belt is just an o-ring with a specific cross sectional shape and diameter...

Here's another option for turntable and audio tape deck belts. They don't appear to stock VCR belts, however.
