Sharp 'Optonica RP114H' belt replacement?

[Yorkie]

Obvious question: Does it work?

- Joe

Yes indeed Joe - and I have to say that to my ears it sounds superb! Electronic speed control and an excellent spec. (Wow and flutter less than 0.06%). A rare find - 'brand new in box', but stored along with thousands of other electronic and sundry consumer items in a warehouse that's been locked up for at least twenty years like a time capsule. I think there were 35 of them at a 'buy it now' price of £135 on e-bay, but they quickly whizzed off the shelves. (My son collected it in person from Stockport). After having been stored so long, it's inevitable that the belt would be jiggered - I guess there will be 34 other lost souls asking in sundry forums ('fora'?) 'how do I fit a new belt'...?

I guess he could have bought a Dansette for about that much, but quite why anyone would want to is one of life's mysteries. (Like the 'magical mustard cap' myth).
