    Beomaster 1700 belt

    Reply Contact

    Hi all!

    My BM 1700 arrived today all the way from the U.K. (Thanks to the person who brought it over for me). Amazing condition, works like a dream EXCEPT the tractor belt for tuning is broken. I could try and fix it but does anyone know how I can get a replacement belt?

     Any ideas much appreciated!

    Hi, i'm afraid 'in your dreams' is the answer to a replacement belt: enough broken ones out there (it's some kind of plastic unfortunately) and as far as i know none available.
    i'm thinking along the lines of a 'tractor-belt' like they use in printers etc and use it inside out but these are usually too thick...anyone who knows a proper 'fix' could help quite some people :)

    Oh dear! Thought that might be the answer I'd get. I'm going to do some investigation into it and hopefully will come up with something!

    Is there a way to get the belt holder apart so you can try out differant materials, I have one that has a broken belt but I can't split it to try anything else out.

     My belts on the beomaster 1700 are in a sorry state too, i have tried getting the sewing kit out and put stiches in them. they have done the trick but the belt has 3 sets of stiches in it so far. has anyone got any other solutions or has managed to find new ones?
