Introduction

The belt rotates the platter of a record player’s turntable. If the turntable is spinning at an inconsistent speed, replacing the belt can help. The Heyday Suitcase Turntable uses a 40cm/15.75in belt.

Before beginning the repair, turn off the turntable and unplug the power cord from the device.
