This is an exact reproduction of the rubber ring mounted on the turntable of the NSM models 1967/68 and up. Hardened and damaged rubbers can cause sound distortions.

Note: On models up to E-technology the rubber can be removed easily from your turntable.
With E-technology and up this rings seems to be glued on the turntable and cannot be removed that esasy.

The shown mechanism and turntable is for illustration only.

February 2022 – another note: After we sold many belts for almost 20 years without any complaints (see customer’s feedback below) two customers did recently inform us though that the belt doesn’t fit well on certain early model’s turntables.

We did some research and got out all different NSM cartridges we have in our warehouse. And yes, there is that version where the gap is only 7.5 mm wide what makes it difficult to fit our 8 mm belt.
This is probably the case for the NSM Hit 130D, Festival 130D or Consul 130D.
The second picture shows the different turntables. We can’t say yet if there are even more.
Please order the belt NSM004 only if you think you can manage to fit it on your turntable.

We will get a 7.5 mm wide belt made but that will need a few month.

 

Another note: It is possible. Not easy but the 8 mm ring can be fitted in the 7.5 mm groove. It does work well when the sides of the ring get lubricated with Ballistol-Oil. A drop of soap will do the job too.
The rubber still has to be pressed into the groove of course. A narrow tool like a screwdriver or similar tool helps as well.

At the end the ring’s surface has to be cleaned well.
The third picture shows a ring fitted.
