Dear Alain,

Fellow board member and friend Brutus442 used this 'M90 kit' I put together for him successfully although the flat belt isn't quite as wide as the original :

 

Medium flat belt, approx 9.3"

Orbicular Belt Square approx 9.0"

Small Belt Square 4.6"

Down at the bottom is the 0.35 x 0.35 (1mm square cut) belt with 4.5 inches doubled making a total 'inner circumference' of 9 inches

Just above is the 'medium' (I only have 3mm wide belts)FLAT belt at 4.65 doubled or 9.3'

From what I've calculated in mm for visual accuracy

118.11mm = 9.3/2 inches converted

114.3  mm = 9/2    inches converted

58.42  mm = 4.6/2 inches converted

88.9    mm = 7/2    inches converted

66.04  mm = 5.2/   inches converted

 

based on the manual:

 

VKB3001-012 Capstan Belt SCX7.0 (square cut, .040-.049 inch/1mm thick, inner circumference 7inches)
VKB3000-017H Take up belt SCX4.6 (square cut 1mm thick, inner circumference 4.6 inches)
VKB3000-031H Counter belt SCY5.2 (square cut .035-.039 inch thick or 0.8mm inner circumference 5.2inches)

 

Hope this info helps

Hi ptaka69,

 

DocP is the man when it comes to the M90 belts. His research is correct. I found that the 9.3 flat belt and the scx4.6 belts were a perfect match. 

 

Although the manual does specify the SCX7.0 flat belt it would be way too tight, IMHO. the 9.0 to 9.3 is a perfect fit.

 

Thanks to Docp's belts, the M90 is still being listened to as I type this! You can't go wrong dealing with Docp..HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

 

Cheers
