Replace VPI TNT rubber belt with nylon thread

Years ago when the belt on my Aries broke I replaced it a double strand of 4 lbs test fishing line. I had to change the SDS settings but it runs like a champ. I have a super heavy clamp so I do give it a little push at startup.

Too lazy to try anything else...

You guys are describing why I gave up on belt-drive turntables entirely.

@Lewm

I don't understand your post. I set it up once over three years ago and a little push on a 1080 gram wright is no big deal. I not suffering at all, so what's your gripe and it's solution?

I have no gripe; as noted, I switched. I was only trying for a bit of levity. If you read what others have posted here and elsewhere about fussing with belts of various kinds, I hardly think you can deny that the belt per se is bothersome if one is a perfectionist. I do apologize, because my comment was OT.
