Big boy, can you supply any info on the brands, models, of the parts you got to use the belt drive?

Sorry, wish I could, but I can't. I got that motor, sprockets and belts from the surplus store. I just sifted through the bins til I found what I thought would work.

The motor was chosen based on voltage and RPM's. The sprockets were chosen to fit the motor and turntable shaft diameters. The belt just went with the sprockets, and I bought a couple different lengths. The motor has a label on the other side, but I don't recall any real identification beyond ratings.

It came out of a larger mechanism, but I have no idea what it was. I'll take a picture next time I go downstairs, but I doubt it's going to be something you can just order up.
