FA-95 miniature drive belt for Wayne Kerr SR268 Source
« on: May 23, 2018, 06:31:51 pm »
I need a "PIC FA-95" miniature belt to complete the restoration of my Wayne Kerr SR268 Bridge source.

The belt in my SR268 has completely disintegrated, except for a small portion which amazingly has the belt type printed on it. It drives the switch for the many range lamps.

I can find the PIC Design website and the actual belt.  It's in their "No-Slip" series.  But they quote 96 days lead-time (apart from the extra $20 handling charge for a small order).
The belt is not a conventional ribbed one, but has pins sticking out sideways from a central core, a bit like a fishbone. The belt is 9.327" long and has 95 drive pins.
(See attachment for details)

A long shot but does anyone know where else I could get one of these belts, or something similar?

many thanks

Good suggestion.  Only a shame that their minimum order is $500!
I’ll try more searches with their part number.
I see that these belts can actually be cut to length and joined on site so I could just look for a large belt and see if I can modify it.

A very good idea!  I checked and they seem to have what I want, at $15.10 a belt ($30 min order or $10 surcharge), so that little belt's going to be quite expensive by the time it finally gets to the UK.  I may try to see if a US friend can bring it over in August, to save a bit.
By the way, that's the belt with a steel core.  The original had an Aramid core and is out of stock.
thanks
Jeremy

Hi,

Could you give me the exact part number? Have you tried your part bought from  Stock Drive Products?

Thanks and regards,

Miklos
