Hello - I'm new here. I'm after a drive belt for an Elmo ST-1200. I have accidentally bought a belt for a 1200D, which is not the same thing at all. I don't seem to be able to find one in the UK anywhere. Please can you help? I love my dear old ST-1200, but I didn't use it for a year because I got a video projector, and now it has gone all offended and is slipping its belt and running slow with groaning sound. I am sure a new belt will perk it up and make it (and me) happy again. Can anyone help us out?

Hello Nicholas and welcome to the forum.

Try isellprojectorbelts on ebay (click the name, it'll lead you to the Elmo page of his store). I get all my belts from Mark and I'm very happy with the merchandise he sells.

A good clean and a good lube (lithium grease on metal parts and silicon on plastic parts) will help also.

Thank you Jean-Marc. I did just that, and they had 2 of them. So I bought one. Maybe the one they have left is the last in the world?

Nicholas, don't worry. Mark's stock is always being renewed.

Mark's a good guy to deal with. I e-mailed him directly and he gave me a discount on my latest order from the eBay prices. [Wink]

Mark made a special belt for an old Titan I was selling, fitted perfectly.
