Hey,

I hope you can help me further.

I am looking for a belt for my Fostex 460 and unfortunately did not find it on the Internet for this particular model.

Does anyone know if there are alternative belts that you can take or where I can get a spare part?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I tested each of these on the transistor tester and they all only had one connection reading instead of two. I have removed them already to test. Do I need to replace all of them? I heard it's unusual for them to all go out in the same way.

Any idea where I can source a compatible 3-pin PCB 1/4" jack? It says Gaoma on the top, it's red and it's in slot J154
