OK thanks for the direction on the TT belts went with the original manufactuer. Hey anything I need to know as far as putting this belt on I don't mind asking stupid questions I trust you guys also I hear you guys talk about a drop of oil in the motor of the TT I have a first run glass plater Music Hall MMF-5 TT should I be looking for some oil I dont even know where the motor is located all work used to be done by a freind who is no longer around. He used to change out my carts and take care of my amps. OK will stop there.
I am seriously disabled (good cause) but just so you know I use help from a buddy who don't work on amps but helps me get around physical actions so to speak.

OK, if you don't know where the motor is you will find out when you replace the belt as it loops around the motor pulley. It is situated underneath the main platter which has to be removed to replace the belt. I don't know if your disability prevents you from taking off the platter or , if so, if you have someone that you can trust to do this.
Do you have the MMF-5 instruction manual? If not then here is a resource.You will need to register to get access.
The manual says the motor has self lubricating bearings which after many years in my opinion may require attention. Not yet though. However it does come with oil for the main bearing and says to clean the motor pulley with alcohol on a q-tip. Make the motor spin with the belt off to help do the work for you, be careful or you could make the pulley try to rip the cotton off the tip if you push too hard. It also says Mobil 1 is OK. Google for the manual if you don't have it.
