Working on the phonograph portion of my 53-1750 console. Does anyone know who sells replacement belts for these old phonographs?
I need a small drive belt that contacts the motor spindle to the spindle for the record platform drive wheel as well as the rubber that goes on the outside of the wheel. The wheel looks like it contacts in the side edge of the record platform but the rubber is dry and brittle and it sounds like a garbage can cover rolling down the street when played !! Also, is that rubber ring on the drive wheel just snapped on perhaps glued on?? Thanks,
Mike
