Please be sure to compare shipping prices!!! Do not get tricked into spending $6.00 or more for US First Class delivery! Most agree; this item has a very reasonable shipping/charge.. There is a myth that one belt fits 95% of all turntables. Nothing is further from the truth. It is also a myth that all MCS tables take the same belt!!! To wit: there are three distinct sizes just in this offer! A belt that is a bit too large or small will probably run on your turntable, but if it is too small, it will wear out your motor years before it would under normal conditions. If it is too large, it won't hold speed correctly. It might also be bad for the motor, but as belts get older, they expand, so in the best case, you need a replacement years before you should. Take Note! There are people online who have been selling belts for 15-20 years. Many have lots of feedback or websites that “look” like they know what they are doing. (One place selling belts on eBay even sells surfing supplies! If you find the guy with the beach photos, click on sell seller's other items. You can get Sex Wax from them - I'm not being lewd, Sex Wax is a great surfboard wax.) Do they really know what belt is the match for your turntable? Technics NEVER gave technical support on the MCS models and MCS service manuals (with part numbers) are hard to find. When the the last of the MSC models rolled off the assembly line, I was Assistant Store Manager for the largest independent Technics dealer in the Southeastern US. I have compiled some data in my ever-expanding notebook. I stopped entering MCS tables when I started online. I realized that I can build more information on the data I already have. If a customer has an MCS table and I do not have the data, I can take measurements (rather, I can tell my customer to take measurements) just as if I had the turntable in my shop, and the customer was Face-to-face. Read my Seller History below for more information. (In case you are wondering...I enter the model with the dash in different positions so those who search for the model can find it regardless of if they have the dash in the right place!) 5 Belt Measurements All flat rubber belts have 5 measurements that effect the belt's performance. Length is the one most people think of right away. Length affects how tight the belt is. If it is too tight, the motor will not run (or if it is just a little too tight, the motor will wear out quickly). Width is one you might not think is important, however, the manufacturers specify this one down to the 64th of an inch! If the belt is too wide, the risk is the belt will hit the outsides of the capstan, which will create momentary bumps in the speed. If the belt is too narrow, it does not have enough contact with the capstan, causing it to slip. Either of these problems may be inaudible at first, but later? Who knows? Thickness of the belt is the smallest of the measurements. Most Turntable belts are close to the same thickness, but your parts provider who has only a decade of experience might buy their belts based on length and their cost alone. You could get a belt that they bought wholesale at 99 cents but is way too thick! A belt that is too thick will not fully fold around the capstan, causing more pitch problems. If you call to complain, you are told that your turntable has natural Wow and Flutter. Friends: These models' Wow and Flutter is at least eight (8) times below the audible limit. (Sources: Julian Hirsch - Hirsch-Houck Labs and the Technics models SL-200, SL-210 SL-220, SL-230, SL-231 SL-235 Service Manuals). Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes! If you can hear wow and flutter (a.k.a. bad speed fluctuation), you(a) are not operating within original specifications, and (b) might have a belt that was not cut to meet factory specs! External Diameter. This one is a no-brainer, it is closely related to the thickness and internal diameter. Internal Diameter. Like #4, this one is also a no-brainer, it is closely related to the thickness and external diameter. Many old-style belts were cut to size. Modern (i.e. get it out the door as fast as you can) cutting techniques can lead to inconsistencies, unevenness, and inferior product. This belt is not cut, it is precision molded to meet original specs for the Technics/Panasonic brands, which had superior specs than the Panasonic and Technics brands. If the rest of your turntable is operating properly, this belt will deliver performance that exceeds original MCS specifications.The belt you are about to order was recently manufactured by the same company that made the first belts for the Technics models SL-BD10, SL-BD10K, SL-BD20, SL-BD20K, SL-BD30, and SL-BD30K. My distributor, Artistic Audio of Atlanta, buys thousands of belts made by this manufacturer and has been sending them all over the United States for years. Every few of weeks Artistic Audio of Atlanta reorders belts buy (pun intended!) the hundred, replacing the stock they have sold. No belt is on their shelf more than a few weeks. Because they come into the distributor regularly, I can personally guarantee that the belt you get is fresh! About these models: I did not put specifics in my notebook (but, then, no one ever dreamt that turntables would be on the endangered list, or that people would ignore data that had been acquired for decades because they thought it obsolite. If you have a picture of one of these models, please ask me to send them. I may ask for specific shots.[Warning!:Test have shown that playing an LP twice is a row does more to damage a record than 40 plays when the vinyl has had a chance to cool. Here is the deal: The point of contact where stylus meets vinyl is over 1,000 degrees F. Playing a record does some damage. If the record is allowed to “recover”, however, that damage is minimal. One of the most damaging things we can do to a record is play it twice within a 1 hour period. Using the repeat function causes more damage to records than almost any other thing we do. I am a skeptic. Seriously! I went back to my record collection to when I owned a repeating turntable and listened. Almost all of my old vinyl that is noticeably damaged came from the time I owned turntables that repeat. Stacking records is perfectly safe, as long as you play each record no more than once.] XXXXX Georgia Residents will pay 7% Sales Tax. Shipping and handling is only $1.99 to any point in the USA.
