No old stock but new and fresh from factory! Quality flat belt made in Europe fresh factory for turntable timers: STANTON STR8-50 the advantage of a belt drive is to absorb the vibrations of the chassis and the engine that can only be used with the best straps with a high content of natural rubber and other matching materials that guarantee good wear resistance and proper traction but without deformation. After many experiments and tests, we have achieved this winning mix. The lengths of our straps are always exactly tailored for the model of record turntables described, they are not adapted and stretched to allow them to enter by "strength" damaging the mechanics over time and removing the strap, both the duration and the ability to absorb vibrations. In fact unlike many we have many sizes, not a few standard. You dont even have to worry about the mounting direction because it is sanded on both sides. I am a true vintage audio enthusiast, not just a "I want to sell everything without understanding anything" and always try to offer good quality with criteria. My feedback shows this. Wish you a happy fun with our long lasting straps!
