Your table is worth fixing up for a lot of reasons.
1. A belt is only about $10.
2. That table is a legend because it sounded better than most gave it credit and in fact sounds better than a new Rega. (except the Rega arm is good.)
3. Throw a matt and some feet on it along with a good sounding complient cartridge like Grado or Benz and you have a table that is better than a lot of people have.
4. If you wanted to sell it you can get over $200 from a person that knows what it is.
5. It is hard to find any table that will play 78's let alone a "Good" table. (Thorens still makes one but not as goo on 33's as yours.
