24.5 Inch Long Medium Flat Electronics Drive Belt




This belt is found in, but NOT necessarily limited to, the following:

HARMAN KARDON T20, T25, T30, T30C, T35, T35C, T40 T45, T45C
turntable platter belt.
JVC AL-A158BKX, AL-A1BKX turntable platter belt.
KENWOOD KD-491F KD-491FC
turntable platter belt.
PANASONICS/ TECHNICS SL-B2 SL-B200 turntable platter belt.


Meets or exceeds OEM specs. Found in many types of equipment.

  • This belt is of recent manufacture. Original legacy belts no longer exist. If they did, they'd be too old to sell in good conscience. As far as we can tell, even if the manufacturer name was stamped on the belt, all belts supplied with original turntables were outsourced to a belt specialist manufacturer, like ours are today. Our belts are made using state-of-the-art vulcanization chemistry, forming highly crosslinked polymetric structures which ensure long-term elastic stability even under the harshest conditions.
  • Prior to installation of your new belt, the belt path should be cleaned. Here in the repair shop we would use common household rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) or a similar solution to clean the old, (often invisible) belt residue from the entire belt path, including the hub around the underside of the platter, so it doesn't contaminate the new belt. With the belt off, we would get the turntable into play condition and hold an alcohol soaked Q-tip on the side of the spinning belt motor pulley. It's amazing how much black contamination comes off from the old belt. See our belt installation page for related details.

      This belt has my 40+ year old Technics turntable playing like new. The vinyl is now out of the closet and back on the platter! Easy to install - don't know why I waited so long. Thanks.

      Turntable belt for my PL-A45d.
      I have been trying to restore my Pioneer PL-a45d turntable and everything was working great except for some wow and flutter. It turns out that the belt I bought from somebody else was the problem. I know this because I bought this belt and the records sound GREAT! I will only buy my future belts from Turntableneedles.com. This belt worked!

      Great service. Received the belt within a week and it fit perfectly on our Realistic turntable-so nice to be able to fix something in this disposable society! There was even an alcohol wipe included for cleaning before installation. I would definitely recommend Turntable needles. Love the wording in the return policy-all good common sense!

      I was a little confused as to the size that I needed using your recommendation for measuring as it did not meet my any of my measurments. That being said, after a few tweeks with the "pitch adjustment, it's working GREAT! I love listening to my old LPs. Thanks guys!

      Flat Belt, Medium 24.5 inch
      Had an old Luxman turntable that I hadn't used in years. Had trouble finding the right fit until I came across TurntableNeedles.com. Wanted to dust of the old vinyl. Turntable Needles was very helpful in directing me to the right fit. Everything worked prefect. Good to hear the old vinyl again.

      Great parts for proper performance
      I purchased this belt for a late 70s turntable. I chose this particular site because of the technical info and search options offered, and it paid off. The belt fit perfectly and seems to offer no resistance which could harm the motor. Searches on other sites tried to offer belts of a different size as a replacement option and did not stock the true correct size.

      I like the way these guys tell you what to look for and how to choose belts and needles, good tech info, much appreciated. Parts arrived in short order and reasonably priced. When they weren't sure of my address, the even called me up about 15 minutes after I placed my online order. I'd recommend Turntable Needles .com to anybody.

      Turntable Belt
      I recently purchsed a older Harmon Kardon turntable at an audio club "Swap Meet." The unit was stuffed below a table and was flithy...it looked like it had been put on a shelf and not touched fora few decades. In that time the belt had desinagrated (not an uncomon experience). Turntable Needles had excellent resources to determinemthen correct belt size and a physical exam indicated a high quality item. Great purchasing experience....I'll know in a few decades about the lifetime of the belt.

      turntable belt
      The belt worked fine, but not initially. I realized the turntable speed was not right after listening to a record; had to read the manual and find a tiny potentiometer inside the unit to adjust speed. I watched a Utube video and learned I could download an app that displays turntable speed with the iPhone rotating on top. While watching my iPhone rotate on the turntable the "pot" had to be carefully adjusted to 33 1/3 rpm. It is doubtful most buyers would be able to do this themselves; they would have to have a technician handle this. So, the $15 belt would cost a lot more once the turntable was adjusted so the sound was "correct." Suggestion: Have a tech tip to buyers in the belt section!

      Was a perfect fit on my early-80's Technics SL-B200. The old belts had dry rotted after it had been sitting in the basement for years. Added a new stylus (also from this website)....and it's up and running, good as new. Great hearing the old vinyl again!

      Turntable restored
      The belt arrived quickly even during Christmas. Was simple to install and my turntable and old albums from the 70's and 80's sound even better then back then when hooked up to my Sony stereo. I love it when I can fix up something than have to junk a component for one simple piece that is usually impossible to get. It is great to see a company that is helping the environment by allowing us to extend the life of our things rather than dump them.
