Author Topic: Eiki 2000A Belt Marc Syp Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Columbus, OH, USA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 08-26-2008 09:45 PM                     Hi guys... I need to replace a belt for an Eiki 2000A. I dug around and found some references to Eiki Part #s on a forum, and I think it is the ST-12181. But I'm not sure and don't want to order the wrong part. Can someone take a look at this photo and tell me if this is the right part # for this belt? http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpsyp/2802075738/ Thank you!

Dont use them like I used to, but I do run them from time to time. The motor drive belt you want is a pain.  |  IP: Logged Hugh McCullough Expert Film Handler Posts: 147 From: Old Coulsdon, Surrey, UK Registered: Jan 2003 posted 08-28-2008 06:15 AM                        Most small projector drive belts can be obtained from www.cinebelts.co.uk  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 08-28-2008 07:52 AM                     Check with Larry Urbanski Here. He probably can answer your question and supply the belt.  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-28-2008 10:35 AM                     Roberts Film Service in Montreal is another possible source  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-29-2008 04:20 PM                        McMaster-Carr sells urethane belts at reasonable prices. The 5/32" belts are slightly smaller in diameter than the original ones, but work just fine in my EX-2000N (similar machine to yours). Search for "round belts." They also sell roundthane belts (at far cheaper prices than most cinema suppliers charge), but the smallest diameter is 5/16", which is too large for these machines. (Thanks to jhawk for telling me about this company.) If you want to order by Eiki part number, you can try KMR Electronics. They are not cheap, but they are an official Eiki dealer.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-29-2008 05:42 PM                     Ditto for Grainger--they sell the same stuff as McMaster, and have tons of local depots where you can buy over the counter.  |  IP: Logged
