Does anyone manufacture an alternative Linn Sondek belt pulley ?


I am so tired of adjusting that terrible pulley that my Linn Sondek has at present.  I cannot stop the belt from slipping, regardless of how many belts I have changed and however many adjustments I have made.  Maybe on my TT, the axis of the motor mount wrt the chassis is bent..... Regardless, I do not want to spend any more money on TTs except maybe just for a new fool proof pulley.  Besides, its sound to me, is still great, when the belt does not slip.

If anyone manufactures a Linn GROOVED pulley for a standard 2 or 3 mm diameter ROUND belt, it would be perfect.  It would be so much more capable of dealing with slight imperfections and age and mechanics of older TTs, which I am prepared to live with.

Anyone know any third parties doing this ?

Thanks

If you are getting belt slip, then I would suggest that there is something wrong with your Linn’s set up. I would recommend a trip to a Linn dealer who can do the set up correctly.
The issue here is simple, the OP is setting the table up himself and clearly something is going wrong, leading to my post above.

@dover  And you still wouldn't have the capability of competing with a full spec LP12 Klimax...that should tell you something.
