Re: DIY drive belt

The VCR is a JCPenny 5061 Two Head (an ancient beast). I was able to make a couple of the belts using surgical hose I cut into 8ths. It works for all but one belt. My parents suggested I use hair ties. I will try that as soon as I can get a few. They should hold up much better than rubber bands. I agree MCMaster would be better, but ordering online is a real pain for me.
