Where can I get a Fostex B16 drive belt - UK

[arjoll]

I think when I find the belt I'll try and get a pinch roller as well as mine is a bit shiny........I guess that could cause slippage.......

Try here for the pinch roller.

thanks for that.....

the idea of glueing feels like a non winner but could be worth a go if I get desperate......

what glue though?

The guy I was talking to said he used a variety of superglue intended for use on rubber. The regular stuff seems to be hard and brittle, so it probably wouldn't work so well (although I did use it on my counter belt).

Thanks so much for taking the TASCAM drive belt off and measuring it, by the way....that's very kind....jp

also thanks for the link...arjoll... hang on...arjoll, is that...oh never mind.....

I'm now accumulating sources and I'm determined to solve this.....

thanks all....

I might have found one...

fingers crossed.........

here's a couple of shots of the head, do you think it has much life left? If it's crapped out I can't afford to replace it.....

Good to know you've managed to source one. (I know I should have written this yesterday)
