Hi Bill, I think I found a source for the belts in UK. Square belts Belt 19 X 1.3 X 1.3 Mm Here is the site... I'm not sure if URLs get through OK anymore on...
Thanks Duane Good luck with the replacement. I don't know if you have dismantled the beast yet, but it does come apart real easy. If it looks difficult, it...
Hi Bill, Thanks for this piece of information. It looked exceptionally difficult to get into to. I've worked on a lot of electro- mechanical and electronic...
Duane, Relax. Removing the back is not even necessary. The top cover comes off with the removal of one screw on the back - on mine its marked remove to raise...
Bill, Thanks for the additional information. I have a new problem this morning, the place that has the square O rings in UK will not ship them to the US, and...
Dang! Where I got my belts was a Chinese run electronics store in the electronics region of Toronto. The kind of place which sells absurdly large power...
Hi Bill, I found a fellow that has the belts here in the US!!! Ken's Electronics. He has multitudes of belts. He asked I remove a belt from my FS-500 and...

Bill, I figured out how to get the motor PCB's out just now. I can see there's no easy magical bullet on that one. I can get the rest out OK. I have a new...
Have you considered using rubber bands for practice> Errol In a message dated 6/10/2008 10:07:47 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, vonwelling@... writes: ...
Hi Errol, The distances are so so close, that the belt (or rubber band) can't clear the pulleys and, of course, can't get by the pulley shaft on the slider. ...
Is that the one with the Horseshoe and three manuals? I fell in love with that organ years ago. You don't see them on the market as their owners love them too...
Hi, Yes, it is. Mine is the FS-500 which is just a little smaller in size than the FX-20, but they are both pretty much the same. They are incredible...
Duane, You know, darned if I can remember. I had to remove all the motors because the brushes were gunged up and clean them all. Actually, you may wish to...
Hi Bill, I'll proceed with this in the morning, sounds like one should have a good nights sleep before this one! I'll let you know how I make out. All is...
I've just been consulting the manuals. No help. I think the spindle that holds the slider drive worm pops outwith the application of a little force from a...
Yep, the manuals seem to ignore this part. I'll study this tonight and see what my options might be. I sure don't want to do major surgery on these motor PCB...
Yep, they should be tight. Bill ... From: Duane Tash To: electonetalk@yahoogroups.com Cc: Duane Tash Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 7:02 PM Subject: Re:...
OK Duane, Here's the scoop on the dismantling the sliders: The motor end pulley slides along the motor shaft with aplication of a little force from a...
Good lord, Bill, this certainly seems remarkably simple, you are of phenomenal help, Bill. I will try this in the morning with a clear mind on the one I have ...
Bill, *SUCCESS!!!* I have the belt off and laying on my desk next to me, yes, looks about 5/8" in diameter! Loosing the screws on the motor mount didn't do...
Bill, FINALLY, I'm starting to see the light at this end of the tunnel and I don't think it's a train! I've carefully measured the belts on mine and I found...
It's been at least tow maybe more years sense any one came along asking these questions. I'll file these away for next time. I' no I'm late with this but did...
Hi, Yes, I researched the Electonetalk files. Bill was the only one to post about these belts, so he's been helping me a lot, an awful lot. I'm very indebted...
