Re: SL replacement drive belts
|
if you are handy, you can make your own from the polyurethane belting material for sale on ebay by the foot. the ends just heat together after you measure and cut. there is a learning curve involved but last longer than black ones people sell on ebay. as a side note, i have a unimat from my buddy who's parents bought it for him new in 1968 in austria. the belts are made of some kind of rubberized material and look to be woven/braided. they still work but i ordered the black ones and then switched to the polyurethane self made ones. just make sure you use a diameter similar to the one that broke.?

Hello Leslie!
?
Several eBay vendors of orange polyurethane belts, eg search for ¡°?Emco Unimat SL 1000 DB 200 Belts¡±.
I half shredded one by rubbing it against a stray item on my desk, so bought more, but two years later the shredded one is still running perfectly well.
?
My black rubber ones broke apart soon after I got my unimat, but they were as old as me I think.
