Submitted on July 16th, 2010 by 1200y3http:www.mcmelectronics.com/product/42-650 or simply use the search engine to find MCM electronics. The MCM part number is 42-650. Very popular size. Or order # FRX 23.6 can be used for one, and this would be a PRB brand.
Needle Doctor has the PRB line as well.
PRB specifies the FRX 23.6, which measures 23.3" inside circumference, .210" cross section, and .030" wall thickness.

Belt drive speed too fast
Submitted on June 22nd, 2010 by uptowndowntownBelieve it or not, the type and fit of the belt you are using can cause a speed problem. Try a different belt. A good belt should just fit tight enough around the platter drive wheel to stay in place even with a good shake...but no tighter

phono stage
Submitted on September 8th, 2009 by JaSHi,
Usually there are 2 plugs (one red, one white) on the end of the cable coming from the turntable? There may also be a ground wire with these.
You need to plug the phono plugs into the turntable input of your amp and connect the ground wire to the ground post next to the turntable input.
If you only have line level 'aux' inputs you will need to buy an external phono stage to boost the output of the cartridge and equalise the signal. Do a search for 'turntable phono preamp' on google for more info.

JaS
