I bought a belt from an accessory dealer in the Las Vegas area for my Yamaha PF-800. Paid $29 including shipping and it was too small and tight. Made the table sound like it was speeding up and slowing down. Put the old original belt back on and although slow to start up it sounds terrific once up to speed. I tried stretching the new belt but it didn't improve anything.

Ergo, I don't know if I could have purchased an original belt from Yamaha but that is where I go next. It seems aftermarket belts may have many problems, at least the one I bought does. My situation with the Yamaha is just one example but I have purchased aftermarket belts for three different Thorens models with no problems at all. The conundrum is you probably won't know until you spend the money on aftermarket belts. Good luck
