Where to find new drive belts?
#1

        5/8/13
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
Pictures attached:
1) Drive wheel showing rubber outside, dried, cracked
2) Small drive belt connects motor spindle to drive wheel spindle

Is there a reference somewhere where you can punch in Philco part numbers and see what models those parts were used in?Jim Dutridge — 10:17 AM

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM

A pre war Hallicrafters, and an early one too, very nice! 1936 is pretty early for metal tubes too, which would explain ...Arran — 05:58 PM
