     When I used to be a stereo repair technician, I did a lot of business
with a company called Consolidated Electronics Inc.  They have a VERY large
inventory of stuff with good prices.  The service is quite good as well.
I used to order stuff like audio output ic's, drive belts, turntable
cartridges, etc...
     Call the number below.  Ask for a catalog (this is free).
You might want to make them assume you're a business so they're more
inclined to be your supplier.

     As for the parts like Pulleys, friction wheels, etc... These
parts are very often manufacturer specific.  If you cant find it
from CEI, then you are best off ordering it from the manufacturer.
This is sometimes easy, and other times very difficult.  Depends on
the company and the part you need...


     Consolidated Electronics Inc.  (CEI)
     705 Watervliet Ave.
     Dayton, Ohio  45420
     513-252-5662
(If you open an accout with them, they give you their 800 number)
