410 Belts

[charliecron]

While browsing a belt cross reference guide, to purchase new belts for some of my decks, I was surprised to see the Atari 410 listed!

 

I know they are not that hard to get, Best still sells them (minimum order required though?), and maybe some other folks are selling them too, but it's still nice to have some standard model numbers.

 

I think there are 3 belts in the 410, but this guide just lists 2. Maybe two of the three belts in the 410 are the same?

 

Main belt: SCX2,4

belt, counter: SCY4.8

 

Well I haven't ordered any, so I can't say they fit, but if anyone does try these model numbers let us know!

 

I found the guide here,

I'm pretty sure there is 3 belts.

Good information for those with the original 410 made in Japan by Sanyo. These have the aluminum carry handle (see photo). Unlike the more common Hong Kong 410 that has three belts, this version (with carry handle) only has two belts. One main drive belt for PLAY/FF/RWD and a counter belt. So there is bad news and good news. The bad news is that the 410 belt kit is for the Hong Kong 410s. The good news is that the play belt in Magic Knight's 410 kit (3 belts) is an adequate substitute and will work on this Japanese 410. None of the three belts in the kit will work as a replacement for the counter belt in this original 410 (Japan) if that one is broke or stretched out.

Before I ordered these, I pretty much assumed they'd be different as what are the odds that a Japanese Sanyo player would use the exact same belt as one from Hong Kong. Luckily one of them is close enough to serve as the PLAY/FF/RW belt. So, I just said that I'd "take one for the team" and give it a try. Unfortunately for me, once I fixed the belt, I discovered that one of the rubber friction wheels no longer makes sufficient contact on the other wheel for FF to work. There has been some information in other 410 belt threads that claims that the two 410s share the same belts and that is just not the case.

I wanted to thank Magic Knight for having these kits available as I ordered this with eyes wide open knowing there was a chance it wouldn't work.

If there is anyone CONUS that needs a 410 belt kit, PM me and I'll send it to you.
