Two drive belts? Then the machine has either a 33/45 intermix player OR
it uses two belts so that one is redundant (not likely - this wasn't
common until the 3400 AIR).

Thanks! I went to pinballrebel, found a picture of the 3010, "1966" perfect match. Still don't know wether it as 2 belts or 1, I guess i'll just order 2. Thanks a lot! Radar

Hi Radar,

As I suspected the second belt is redundant - the machine had provision
for two belts so if one broke it would keep playing...

So you only NEED one, but two will not hurt anything.

I sell belts by the way..

Gentlemen,

Redundancy may have been the practical application for using two turntable belts. However, Wurlitzer marketing had something different in mind. I am quoting this directly from the 1965 Wurlitzer 2900 sales literature " NEW TURNTABLE DRIVE: The costliest professional studio turntables utilize a double belt rim drive to the flywheel. Wurlitzer had adapted this development to the Model 2900. It results in positive record speed which, coupled wiht the new solid state stereo amplifier, produces the finest high fidelity stereo music in the coin-operated music business."

That being said....they work fine with one belt! I have a W2910 and W3010. The method of playing 33/45 intermix was done by a solenoid driving the the rubber drive wheel to a different spot on the turntable motor. The end of the turntable motor shaft was a smaller diameter and therefore spun the drive wheel faster. I can't explain the physics....smaller is slower, larger is faster.

I believe the last model that used a belt on two different drive wheels was the W2700. My 2700 has been retrofitted with the newer style where one drive wheel was utilized.

Hope this explains a bit.
