A little off-topic, but still a good tip. My TT can sit for weeks without being used. To greatly extend the life of the belt, I slip it off during these periods. It’s a small inconvenience to have to slip it on again when listening, but you’ll get years more use before the belt’s stretched to the point of needing replacement.
Help, Turntable Belt.... Weird
Okay so I called the distributor of my turntable and I had a slight problem with the belt, so anyway they told me to clean it with Windex? These seems a little off to me but maybe I am wrong, does'nt windex have like Ammonia and or other components that could soften or damage rubber?
Anyway, I will clean and Talc it but what is a correct cleaner for this method?
Also they want kinda a lot of money for a replacement belt from them direct, anybody got good cheap online sources for a new belt?
Thanks
