Hi all,

Who can help me with a source for a timing belt for my IBM 5203 line printer ?
The old belt has given up after 13 years...

See: http://home.hccnet.nl/h.j.stegeman/IBMbelt.jpg.

It is a US sized belt:

Tooth pitch: 0.125" (1/8)" (this pitch size makes it hard to find)
Witdh belt: 0.500" (1/2)"
Outer length: 13 inch (98 tooths)
Thickness belt: +/- 0.080"

Finding this belt in Europe is hopeless, all metrical sizes.

Thanks for any reaction / tips that will make printer work again !

Regards

Henk Stegeman
IBM System/3 owner.
