I cant find my cross reference list so can anyone supply me generic belt numbers for the latest model simplex soundhead and 35 projector? I need a non strong number for the motor drive belt and the projector drive belt, they are the newer metric rounded tooth style timing belts. Thanks in advance! John

The round tooth belt number is 670-5M-15.

Thanks, is that the belt from the soundhead to the projector? or from the motor to the soundhead? The older ones used two different size belts.

The newer models used the round tooth belts for both.

The 1050s and 1060s used the same size belt for motor to soundhead pulley and soundhead pulley to projector. These were circa 1990 and 1994 Simplex heads with Five Star sound.

Just drive on up to Ketchum and swipe the belts off the XL projectors parked at the entrances to the theaters... No one is gonna miss them.

HaHa Mark! They're probably sun beaten and weather checked by now!! Just got a free turret head and soundhead for the museum! Someone needed the belts more than I did!!

I used to buy those belts here in Boise at a local business since we had some 1050's converted and also Mil2K units.

Tons cheaper than what WRONG would charge.
