I'm looking for a motor belt for Pathescope Ace. Mine is now corroded. I remember that this belt is square, but I think that even a round type can be fine.
Grahame Newnham have it, but he doesn't sell outside the UK and has temporarily suspended sales for health problems.

Grahame Newnham's site says the motor belt is a spring steel belt. See Quick Fix number 11.

In that quick he talk about the belt that connects the projector to the arm with the reel (which must be absolutely metal, it's true), not that of the motor. [Smile]

Luigi, Any Black rubber belt of the same diameter will probably be O.K. Ken Finch.

I'll update on how it will go with the new belt. [Smile]
