Atlas TT issue

[Fazby]

I have an Atlas turntable with the motor. It has worked great for several years, but is slipping now. Manually aiding the brass gear is needed to advance it sometimes. (Annoying!) The hand crank works and I feel no resistance.

Does the belt tend to give out or stretch after a time? Are replacements available? Any other solutions other than buying a new one?

I have offered the motor unit all of George Carlin's seven words and then some, to no avail. Anyone got some better words?

Thank you!

Yes, the belt slips over time. I got this answer from Atlas support: "Part #9302112. They are $2.00 each. If you put b9302112 in the search box at the online store, the part will come up." However, replacing the belt is a very fiddly and frustrating task -- doable, but you will not forget your vocabulary.
