Good source of rubber drive belts
I have just received my first delivery from this US supplier. No connection with them, other than as a satisfied customer - reasonable price, quick delivery and personal service from Bob. Other sources of belts are available, although I couldn't find a UK based one selling the Teac A-108 belt kit that I required.
http://www.vintage-electronics.cc/vbelts.html They stock a huge range of belts for all types of product.

Re: Good source of rubber drive belts
You might also make note of Russel Industries here inthe States.
They took over PRB (Projector Recorder Belt Co.) and have the best assortment available here in the U.S. http://www.russellind.com/downl.htm They have downloadable copies of the cross ref. books available too. HTH. |

Re: Good source of rubber drive belts
Covered within the shipping charges, I understand - we're talking about a goods value under $15 here!

Re: Good source of rubber drive belts
I wasn't referring to your particular case just pointing out the extra costs involved when importing from outside the EU, these extra costs are not covered by the shipper outside the EU.

Re: Good source of rubber drive belts
Yes, I'd obviously prefer to purchase spare parts from the UK but could not find a local supplier. I assume that if a US supplier offers international shipping, all import taxes etc are covered within the shipping charges. How else can it be dealt with?

Sometimes packages (especially small/low value ones) slip through the net, but you should not rely on this. Neither should you expect a large concern to falsify the customs slip. It's a criminal offence.
