I bought 2 of these Technics SL-BD 22 turntables. One of them broke when i wanted to adjust the arm. The one that i still have needs a new belt but its hard to find spare parts a new needle.

I have had one of these (SL-BD22) for over twenty years. It has been in mothballs for quite a while and, after dusting off the faecal fungi from a long-dead cat, the only thing amiss with this former purveyor of Beethoven to Bassey was the disintegration of the rubber belt. Condoms have dates. No warning on the front of the box in 1984 that a life of debauchery, badly-landed vinyl and incontinent felines could effect the chemical coherence of latex. However, I can't understand why the reviewer can't find spare parts as it would seem that storage cabinets are full-to-bursting in various locations both here and possibly in huts in illegal palm-oil areas of Borneo. My only dilemma is a £2.00 differential between Stylus Plus and Currys Spare Parts and perhaps a 0.5mm width issue on the capstan. Maplins, as per usual, has only three belts on offer, but given the fact the instore music (selected managerially - if their is such a thing) has such a visible effect on its instore staff (try Hammersmith), one is almost left gasping at what they bang their heads against at Maplins HQ, wherever the soundproofed bunker is. How they moved from TV Holiday Camp to Electronic Suburban Supplier is a New Wonder in this Age of Adjustment and Fiscal Frivolity. BTW, if anybody can get me a 195cm belt less than a fiver and delivered, please contact me asap as I need to finalise this delicate financial deal.
