Author Topic: Belt For Prevost P-93??? Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-20-2004 11:44 AM                     Does anyone know the metric belt number thats used in this projector? There are none in the U.S. available from either Prevost parts source that we've been able to find at the moment. Any other dealers have one or two in stock please call us.

Its a metric polyurethane belt. I also have to laugh at tone U.S. supplier that wanted 110.00 per belt ! The belts were under 30 dollars U.S. each from our local bearing supplier . The belts I need to replace in this pair of P-93's are only 15 years old!

The only really special part about the belt is that its polyurethane so it can run in an oil environment as in the P-93. I believe these are the only P-93's that CLACO ever sold, but there may be two more pair in an area that I don't normally service. These are 15 years old now and have given their owner zero trouble which is pretty amazing.

Some were converted to a single phase motor using a different pulley and belt (I believe this was a Xetron mod).  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-23-2004 05:28 PM                     These P-93 Prevosts are indeed Xetron modified Prevosts with a SINGLE PHASE 1800 RPM motor. The Belt used in this machine is a T10-660(metric) Polyurethane timming belt. CLUE! These belts DO NOT cost 120.00 as Big Sky and Newmade might want you to believe. Interestingly there is zero wear on the gear trains in these machines after 15 years of daily use.... The booths here in the Park Cinemas are clean enough to eat off the floor!! They are indeed doing film right at this location. The funny thing is that the belts are probably made here, shipped to Italy and then shipped back here to be distributed all over again.....
