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

I am confused by the OP stating that he has a ROUND belt. Mine is flat! Did Linn change the cross sectional shape of their belts?
Use a proper Linn belt. It will fall when the platter stops and should ride back up the pulley when the platter starts to spin if it is adjusted properly. If the OP does go to a Linn dealer do not transport the table with the heavy platter in place!
Funny, I just realized the original post was from 1.5 years ago. I hope the OP figured it out or got some help!
