I have a 8mm project called Yelco Model No. MP 285 by Yamawa Electric Co. Ltd., and I am missing the Driving Built.
Can any one help me, where I can get a belt for this Project naqi3154@gmail.com

Hi Abdul,
according to http://super8data.com/ the Yelco MP-2xx models all look quite similar (and a bit like the Titan projectors too) - does your machine look like the Titan Trimatic IQ on super8data? if so there is a US based seller on ebay selling a belt for this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Titan-Trimatic-IQ-Projector-Belt-1-Motor-Belt-/290713882728?pt=US_Movie_Slide_Projectors&hash=item43afe5d068#ht_500wt_1156

check the spec to see if the innards are likely to match (it's not an absolute guarantee but most machines within a maker's similar range share the same components)

Hi from New Zealand,
if it is a rubber-type belt then when mine break i go to my local machinery shop that sells pumps etc and buy o-rings - heaps cheaper than online replacements too.I pay about NZ$3 for the most common one i need.I also use belts from old dead projectors than cost nearly nothing.....
