Turntable Belt

I have to replace the drive belt on a Technics DJ 2500B turntable, can anyone suggest a suppler?

If the DJ'ing TT you have is a Technics copy then wouldn't the belt be the same too? Limit dj-2500b

Have you tried Googling the various DJ suppliers? I'm pretty sure something as common as a Technics SL1210 turntable belt would be a standard stock item for most decent DJ/club retailers.

The Technics 1210 is a direct drive turntable. No belt involved.

If Maplin dont do them, try a vinyl specialist or hi-fi specialist...pending that you rarely need to replace the belt unless it has snapped...just shrink it back to it's original size.

Boil the kettle, place the belt in a saucepan of boiling hot water, leave for about 5 minutes and the belt will shrink back to it's original size. It has worked for me on endless occasions.
