Max, I've got no idea what your belt is like, but I have a box full of rubber dive belts from my previous career as a stereo repair guy. If your belt isn't fiber re-inforced, I might have one in your size. Loop a string around the pulleys that your belt used to ride on to get the length. Find a piece of the old belt to get the width and thickness.

hey doug, anything for old aiwa tp 703's? be glad to buy them. i really need the slip belts for fast forward. they slide when loose and grab when tightened. some sort of fabric. i have seven, if you like those. i also have 3 uhers, 2 stereo. the mono and one stereo work. and a aiwa tp 1001. works but needs tighter belts.

Sorry E I've only got rubber belts left, no fabric types.

i need rubber, too. do i just measure and tell you? or would sending the old belt be easier?

You can measure. The length is what the belt would measure if cut and laid in a straight line. If they are stretched, then a little art is required on my part.

sounds good. do you have any of those wire belts? they work well on tension drives too.

Not familiar with wire belts?????

they are cool. they are the same diameter as their counterpart rubber or plastic but are like tiny coils of springs. so intead of wearing out like fabric or rubber, they last a very long time. i may be calling them the wrong name.
