I am finally finish the restoration of my 1428. I ordered a new belt
from
Victory and received a 3L-150 v belt. Have had a h--- of a time with
it. When I did manage to finally get it on, there is too much
tension
on the motor and it will not spin. I have loosened the worm gear so
that I can turn the belt with lots of effort, but it is still to
tight.
The worm gear is bolted but not tightly and the motor is still
binding. Suggestions anyone? I was thinking of trying a 2L-150
belt,
it would seem to sit it the gears better. THanks for any help or
suggestions please........

Vacuum cleaner belts work fine. Supermarket might have them or a
regular repair store. Cheap too !

Ken,
Thanks for the reply, I ordered the belt for a rockola 1428 and
received the 3L-150 from them. Called them back and they said they
was the right belt for the application. I am befuddled at the moment
and was hoping someone has an answer because this one is not working
at all, unless I am missing something, but it is a simple change out.
Thanks and hope you have some other info.
Terry
