those Assorted Cassette Belt kits...50pcs

[thinkchronicity]

Hi Guys,
I've been reading the awful reviews of these on Amazon and assume Ebay stuff is of similar quality. Does anyone have a recommendation for a goodish selection of belts in the sizes they advertise? Maybe someone knows of an electronics store, apart from the two firms above, in the UK which does this kind of thing. I know some that sell individual belts, but the multipack is what I'm after.
Many thanks

T-Ster, many thanks! I will try those, so far All the kits I bought off eBay were awful, some are even worse than rubber bands! Never tried kits off Yahoo-Japan, wonder if those are any good?

Fatdog +1! And turntableneedles, but for the real daddies-granddaddies of bboxes you also need new rubber tires, where do you get those???

Thanks for everyone's input. I looked up the Malvern place, but they had no products listed for sale strangely. Luckily the postie tends to leave a supply of various rubber bands..

Not sure where you were looking, here is Malverns Ebay store:

elastic bands are not suitable belt replacemnt!

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ I still have a small business type card from MalvernAudio but they no longer seem to be on eBay with that name. Having a look around I came across Malvern Hills Audio which, looking at their listings, seem to be the same business as I have used previously. Maybe I'm just getting old and bewildered...


^ ^ ^ ^ Ha! We posted at the same time!

Thanks T-STER! yep, found it now. I swear yesterday it was devoid of products. They have a few jalopy corner kits as well - brilliant.

I was told Australia Jaycar didn't stock these anymore. Apparently still do. Can still get here in NZ. Think I've got 3 unopened packs stashed away. $25 here

I have always used them and worked well for me. Sometimes you have to pick the nearest size what they offer and will be within millimeters difference from the original ones we need. They are high quality belts!

There stock is minimal now and it’s really hard to order from them on phone. They claim you need to do it on computer.
