Have you tried the seller on eBay isellprojectorbelts?

Posted by Brad Kimball (Member # 5) on November 16, 2015, 06:28 PM:

Not yet....Did you buy from him?

Ideally the proper belts would be great or buy "o" rings as they will suit 99% of the belts you need [Smile]

isellprojectorbelts for sure!

I've bought like five sets from him over the years and never been disappointed.

I agree Steve, Mark is great to deal with, both on eBay and off. I've bought belts from him directly the last few times. Great service and prices without the eBay "middleman"... [Wink]

I have bought from isellprojectorbelts 3 times now, for different machines. Each time is the same to Canada. I Pay, I receive in 2 weeks regular mail. Never an issue or a mistake or lost product.
I can't comment on whether prices are good or not...to me anything more than 2$ for rubber is alot [Smile]

, but from what others here tell me, the pricing is better than normal, so I am happy with that.
Cheers,
Matt

Hi Matt,
Yes, you can get by with O rings and rubber bands if you really have to, but I think these machines really deserve to have the best replacement parts we can give them [Smile]

True,

There are a lot of places where you have "V" shaped pulleys and you really need a square profile belt to get good surface contact and traction.

You don't want to mess around with slipping belts. On one of my machines a belt actually wore right down through a nylon motor pulley, right though the bottom of the sheave!
