Hara HF-200 Replacement Belt

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Hello. I have a Hara HF-200(I think this is the model number) and I need a replacement belt. I need the one that looks like a rope and moves the cutter head. Anyone know where I can get one or a suitable alternative? Thanks!

Make one out of Polyurethane, Dead simple, Just remember to make it around 10% smaller in length than the belt you're replacing to allow for the elasticity/stretch. All you need is a A Sharp Craft Knife or better still, Sharp Clippers, a Soldering Iron and/or even a Hot Kitchen Knife at a Pinch!! :wink: :wink: :wink:
