[Drake] re source of drive belts for FPM-300

Fri, 4 Jan 2002 14:38:42 CST

I  had the same belt problem years ago with the 300 I had,  I looked all
over for a replacement..even tried vacuum cleaner shops to no avail. 
Finally, I found a small piece of chain at the hardware store that fit
the teeth nicely and retrofitted the radio with that. It worked great, I
used it that way for the remaining 3 years I owned it. Just my .02.
73 and GL  Bill
