I'm dusting off my old AR Cambridge turntable to record my old vinyl
onto my computer hard drive.

As I haven't used my turntable for about 8 years is it worth me buying
a new drive belt? I just ask because I wonder if over time it
stretches/perishes.

I've got a new stylus as my old one was wearing out anyway.

Everything else looks ok but I haven't got it up and running yet.


If it is worn out, flattened, or stretched, it will slip or you will hear
"wow" (wavering of sustained notes). If neither of these are evident, you
are fine.
