Edison Diamond Disk Phonograph 14" Leather Drive Belt

Description

This is a historically accurate and appropriate leather belt specifically for your Edison A-80 or B-80 Phonograph Player.
Dimensions are 14" x 1/4" x 1MM thickness - just like the original.
Don't make compromises by using a "stretchy" rubber belt with your historic phonograph.
This belt is discounted by 25% because it has two connecting seams instead of one; however it
will work perfectly with your player - exactly as Thomas Edison designed.
Made from high quality cow hide, pre-assembled by hand and ready to use, - no connecting of the ends is required.
Please note: If you have an Edison Wax Cylinder Player or different model phonograph you will need a different length belt - please check out my other listings.
Installation Instructions (For B-80):
First remove the front grill by lifting it up and pulling the bottom forward. You then you need to remove the top grill on your phonograph. To do this remove the six small screws, and push pu carefully from underneath to remove. the top grill has a left and right side connected together with two small nails so be careful when removing. Once the top grill is removed you will see 4 mounting screws that hold the turntable in place. Take off those screws and then slightly lift  turntable snd slide it about an inch towards the back of the unit. This will provide you with he slack you need to install the belt.
Going thought the front grill, loop the leather belt over the pulley under the turntable and the bully above the motor, while simultaneously pulling the middle tension wheel to the left of the belt. When you release the tension belt it should push against the belt to exert tension on it. Your can then carefully slide the turntable forward, to realign with the mounting screw holes. reattach the turntable mounting screws and the top grill, and your phonograph is ready to play!!
