[78-L] Drive belt for JCPenny

[Dan Van Landingham]

Have you ever looked into MCM consumer electronics?I've done business with them 
for about 15 years and they carry belts.I have also purchased replacement 
cartridges from them after the
other resources I had dried up.I used to buy new old stock Pickering V15s and 
Stantons for ar-
ound $10 each.The last Stanton I had was actually GIVEN to me at a Radio Shack 
store in Ro-
seburg,Oregon when I lived there.That was several years ago;they no longer 
carried them in their
stock.

Subject: [78-L] Drive belt for JCPenny

I am hoping someone on this list can help me with a problem. I picked up a 
J.C.Penny combination cassette, 8 track tape, record player (the record player 
is linear drive), AM/FM stereo so my wife could listen to some 33s. The model 
no. is; 1788 or 683-1788-00, Code; C311. The drive belt for the turntable has 
stretched with a hump where it rested on the motor drive shaft. The belt is a 
flat belt, 16.25 inches (total length), by 7/32 wide, by 1/32 thick (412.75 X 
5.556 X .794 mm). The belt was probably 16 inched long originally, or maybe 
slightly less.
 
I know most department stores had other manufactures make their products. I 
would like to know some model numbers for similar machines from the original 
manufacturer or some similar JC Penny stereos that would have the same 
turntable. Or some suggestion on how to fabricate a belt.
 
Thank you.
Ken
