Hi, rather strangly i've never purchased a drive new belt for any turntable i've owned, never needed to. However I need to source a decent replacement for a Heybrook TT2, anyone know a good reliable place to get one??
Cheers,
Rob.

Great cheers Dave, that's handy:).
Best regards,
Rob.
As an aside. I've been wondering for ages whether to get a new drive belt for my old pink triangle. Has anyone noticed a substantial difference after renewing a drive belt?

Well it should as they perish with age don't they ?

I think they stretch a little bit. A replacement every year or two would probably do it good.

Depends on the drive belt but a Pink Triangle belt will only last 2-3 years before is starts to slip off.

Rubber band ordered from Guy at Puresound, who is a very nice man:).

It ain't doing that right now Dave. Do you think it's likely to be healthy?

If it doesn't slip off and comes up to speed within a few seconds and maintains that speed - put your money back in your wallet.

You could try freshening it up a little by putting it in a small bag with some talc. Shake it up & kind of wrinkle the bag through your fingers so the talc gets all over the belt. Then take it out of the bag & give it a bit of a shake to get the bulk of the powder off.
I store my spare belt like this.
