How often do you replace your belt?

No, this is not one of those questions where I'm looking for an answer like, "After Thanksgiving." The belt on my table is over three years old. When I place the brush on the vinyl, it slows down now. I'm also questioning the sound quality lately, I'm thinking, the belt may need replacement. Does anyone have a formula? Like every year or so? In which case I'm long overdue? I just ordered a new Turbo power supply. Maybe all I needed to do was replace the belt? Hmmm...

Thanx,

Dave

Generally speaking belts are inexpensive, if you have reason to believe that yours needs to be replaced, get one and then tell us if you really needed it! I just buy a new TT when the belt gets worn! : )

I did it once on my Transrotor TT - in 25 years!

Try cleaning the belt with rubbing alcohol, there will be less slippage.

I think, for $10. I may just order a new one as suggested...
I'll let everyone knwo how it goes. Then again, while waiting for the new one, I may try some cleaning magic.

Thanks,
Dave
