How often do you replace your belt?

No, this is not one of those questions where I'm looking for an answer like, "After Thanksgiving." The belt on my table is over three years old. When I place the brush on the vinyl, it slows down now. I'm also questioning the sound quality lately, I'm thinking, the belt may need replacement. Does anyone have a formula? Like every year or so? In which case I'm long overdue? I just ordered a new Turbo power supply. Maybe all I needed to do was replace the belt? Hmmm...

Thanx,

Dave

My Oracle dealer, about 25 years ago, told me about the twist in the belt tweak. I used it on my Thorens back then, and use it on my Oracle today. I should have my new belt in a day or two, and my new power supply sometime after that.
I'll post the difference with a new belt after I try it out.

I think, for $10. I may just order a new one as suggested...
I'll let everyone knwo how it goes. Then again, while waiting for the new one, I may try some cleaning magic.

Thanks,
Dave
