Here's a link to the belt. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/3L470  |  IP: Logged Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 02-15-2009 07:05 AM                     Thanks Sean for the number. I found a belt last night at an Auto Zone that seems to be the correct length. My problem now is that after mounting the Century RE-3 head on a refurbished LL3 base the 7000 series Kelmar arm is to long and I had to raise the base 2 inches off the floor for the 25" 6K reel to clear. Also I had to position the reel arm "forward" to clear the LL3 base plate. Now the belt doesn't like where it is in terms of interference with the gear cluster in sound head. I'm working on the problem!!!!  |  IP: Logged
