Hi,

I am searching for a NEC Belt driven Turntable! Im wondering if anybody can help me source one?!!! Why are they so hard to get hold off!

Which model?

Obviously they can only be bought second hand now but I see there is one on eBay right now. Why does it have to be an NEC?

Oh, by the way, any minute now a moderator is going to point out to you that when you join this forum it is a requirement that you start by saying something about yourself, your system and your musical tastes. Also, you can't just put your location as the UK, you have to be a bit more specific (it is all explained in the confirmation email you received).

Cheers and problem being i never received the conformation email! I have been looking for it all today and thought id try and login and it worked! Im rather new to forums so forgive me! Do you think its a long shot to find one unused? I was hoping to get a P325E....

But you have to click on a link in said email to activate your account (I believe).

Anyway, do I think it's a long shot to find one unused - yes, very unlikely I would say.

If i did manage to find one what kind of money do you reckon id have to part with?

[YNWaN]

I think it will be a minor miracle if you find one that isn't second hand - haven't a clue as to price I'm afraid. A second hand one sold on eBay for £15 according to a brief Google search.

I found one! Dont know how legit it is though!!!

[YNWaN]

Oh right, but if you've found one why ask? Not sure why you would really want one either to be honest.

Trying to complete an all-NEC system? There are folk here doing crazier stuff than that ;)

Just a thought. I'm assuming the NEC turntable is a Japanese (type) design. Many Japanese turntables use similar sized belts and you may find a cheap belt off eBay for maybe a Pioneer or Sansui turntable will work. If dimensions are quoted, measure your belt and compare, buy a belt very slightly smaller than yours in length, as it will have stretched over time.

I think he wants the whole turntable - the belts aren't that hard to get.
