It's never been easy to find the right belt.I got a 20" belt for my Thorens TD-125MKII, and it's too tight. During start up, it made the clicking noise, sounded like clutch is slipping, then I have to adjust the speed faster to compensate the heavier load on the motor, then the wider belt is rubbing on the belt path bracket by the motor.
Now the belt is on my homemade belt stretcher, hope that it'll make it work.
Follow Ups:
A lot of the Thorens guys feel that you need a genuine Thorens belt to get the best from you Thorens deck. They are expensive but not as expensive as the genuine Lin Sondek belt I bought for my LP12. I did not compare but the peace of mind was worth it for me. The 125 is a very nice table.
Altho turntables are older & thus Vintage, the more-specialized Vinyl forum catagory is directed just towards records & their playback equipment. You'll make new invisible friends there with greater experience per this particular subject.
Acoustic Sounds has Thorens badged belts. Not cheap, but from what I have read, worth it.
