Mylar Belt


I have been reading all about these Mylar belts and decided to try making one tonight. Turns out to be alot easier than I thought. I used an etching cream as described in the other threads, and it worked quickly and easily...
Now letting dry until tomorrow then will fit and splice it together.. I recently became the new owner of a Redpoint Model D TT, the previous owner had some belts but they seemed to be worn out. I could not get the speed to stabilize until I changed the belt... So new belt tomorrow and that should get my speed locked in for a few months perfectly...

Hi jsman!  Can you share what size of Mylar belt you got and what is the method to make this belt?

I've picked up a Redpoint Model D and am also in need of some belts.
Also, what kind of bearing lube are you using for your Model D?

Thanks!!!
I am using the 1/2" Mylar Streamer for my belt, it is about 44" long. You need to make it long enough then adjust your motor/platter for the proper tension...
I'm using  Pro Reel to Reel Leader Tape on my Verdier/Redpoint. You can find it on ebay
