I got to this site while searching for new belts for my Yelco projector. I bought this from Pete Ellington at Matrix Video many years ago. I got an extra set of belts at the time and have used both of them. About 2 years ago, in the middle of a project, and a holiday weekend, the small belt broke. I went to a nearby auto parts store and asked the clerk if he had a O ring that size. A perfect fit and it's been running fine since then.
While searching, I ran across a post from someone named John who said he had instructions for changing the belts, but I lost the link. Before I retired, I spent 35 years "fixing" things, so I didn't have a big problem with the belts - it does take time. My large belt is starting to stretch out. It still runs fine, but one of these days I see a trip back to NAPA, unless I'm lucky enough to find one.

Hi Lynn,

I happen to be the lucky recipient of Jon's help. I fixed up a Yelco P111-B so my 11 year old son could have a movie projector of his own.

The belts are a fairly nasty job to do: lots of stuff to remove and replace to put them over the pulleys,

It's doable, but it is certainly a patience thing!

I'll e-mail you the instructions a little later on tonight.

-Welcome!

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...
