LOL! Thank you sir, but I'm more inquiring about reputation . . .

I was more wondering if there are any dealers of choice or any to avoid. LPGear, who I have dealt with before and has a stellar reputation, sells them for $18.90 a pop. But the place called Vintage Electronics, also US-based, sells them for $8.00 each (and less if you buy 2 and even less if you buy more). The only other source I saw was a guy in Germany on eBay, who had even lower prices.

So, assuming the belts are either both original Philips or are both from the same aftermarket OEM source, I will go with Vintage Electronics for the far lower price, but neither site specifies whether they are actual NOS Philips belts or aftermarket. Should I assume the latter?

The only reason I'm at all nervous is that a repair guy once told me not to use aftermarket belts on a Thorens TD126 MKIII (another belt drive table with speed control) because he said they are all bad and burn out the motors.
