gwolford 5 Posted September 29 Posted September 29 I am trying to find what belt circumference will work for SD/A360 cd player. I saw the number .065 inches which is 1.7mm, would 1.5 mm work? 2

gwolford 5 Posted September 30 Author Posted September 30 Thank you for the help and welcome messages. The thread about the cd player was very informative. I ordered a package of 2 mm belts of various sizes. I have a A500x amplifier, a CT24 pre-amp tuner and the SD/A-360 player. I am in California. 3
MattB 358 Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Tagging onto this thread for somewhat relevant question... Is there a good place to order belts by size? I have a VPI turntable and the belts are $45 each direct from VPI. I can't imagine these are anything super duper esoteric, but they sure do like to charge for them.
BobTFM35 3,381 Posted October 2 Posted October 2 (edited) @MattB @gwolford A few places I have in my saved folder, Listed in no particular order https://lptunes.com/collections/vpi-turntable-belts https://www.lpgear.com/category/V1.html https://www.turntableneedles.com/Rubber_Drive_Belts-Tape_Decks_Turntables Was able to source a tt belt from Amazon based on knowing the size and cross section information. For mine I used this to start the search; Turntable Belt for Record Player 20.7" Replacement Flat Medium Edited October 2 by BobTFM35 2
MattB 358 Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Many thanks, Bob! This one has a round belt- looks just like a vary long O-ring with about 2.5mm thickness. I searched amazon for quite a while and only found flat bands in that size. I'll keep digging on the sites you linked. 1

MattB 358 Posted October 2 Posted October 2 yeah I saw those. I think I looked a while back and their largest was just a touch short. I'll have to re-measure the existing one when I get back from the track this weekend. many appreciates! 1
