Description: TURNTABLE DRIVE BELT - FOR THE CITRONIC CS300D Turntable Basics: The analogue turntable is a device designed to spin a vinyl record at a constant speed and permit the tone arm/phono cartridge system to 'read' and report changes in the record grooves with minimal interference. It provides listening pleasure that has yet to be fully realized by the compact disc, digital video disc, and digital technology. This is the reason why its use continues today despite its exaggerated demise. Why Should I Replace My Turntable Belt? Pitch accuracy goes out the window when your belt stretches or wears. Return your Citronic to its correct pitch with a new belt. When should I replace my turntable drive belt? Usually 3-5 years seems to be the average. Belts stretch with time. A belts worst enemy is being idle. Run the turntable occasionally if you don't play records regularly. Also, check for signs of slow starting. This is usually caused by belt slip (the result of stretching). A belt stretched >5% over its new length should be replaced. How Do I Replace My Belt? Replacing a turntable drive belt is usually a relatively painless process and can usually be accomplished by performing the following steps: Remove the turntable mat Take off the platter, sometimes there will be a circlip holding the platter in place and if this is the case it will need to be removed first. Most platters just lift off however. Turn the Platter upside down and you will normally see an extrusion where the belt goes round. If there isn't one and the platter has lifted off and left the belt in place then it will be obvious where the belt has to go! If this is the case then simply replace the belt and refit the platter. Now go to step 7. If however there is an extrusion on the underside of the platter then proceed to step 4. Place the belt around the extrusion on the underside of the platter Replace the platter. Grasp the belt through one of the holes in the platter and stretch it over the motor pulley. If there is a mechanical speed change guide you must make sure that the belt goes through this otherwise you will not be able to change speed. Replace the mat. Enjoy your vinyl!!
