Is there any pictures available on how to reattach the belt under the table for the Pioneer PL-990 Turntable? The belt came loose when I was moving and now the platter does not rotate. I checked the user manual for hep, but it does not state how to do the reattachment.

The only place to order one, is at Pioneer USA, as they have no distributors. It may or may not be available at this time. For more information, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. Thank you.

Pioneer PL-990 is listed as a compatible player for this belt.

The simple rule of thumb is after you lift up the turntable platter turn it upside down and see if the belt sits on the inner rim tightly. That is if you after putting the belt on the rim and shake it upside down the belt should not fall off. And if you want to measure the belt-- remove it and place it in cold water for an hour and then after wiping it clean place it on its flat side on a table ( best is glass surface ). Measure its length with out stretching it in centimeters and subtract about a centimeter from the total. This will give you a new belts measurement
Eg; If the belt measures 19cm, subtract 1cm from it and go buy an 18cm.belt for replacement.

PUT IT ROUND THE PLATTER BASE FIRST,THEN LOOP A BIT OF STRING ROUND THE BELT LONG ENOUGH, SO WHEN YOU PUT THE PLATTER BACK ON,YOU CAN LIFT IT UP A LITTLE BIT WHERE THE MOTOR WHEEL IS THAT TURNS THE BELT, PULL THE STRING TOWARDS IT SO THE BELT GOES OVER IT.DROP THE PLATTER THEN PULL THE STRING OUT.

This is a belt driven turntable, check the belt if it is loose replace it with a brand new one, you can buy one at partstore.com

You might limp it along for a short while but you need a new belt.

no diagram needed...flip the table over, wrap the belt around the inner track then put the table back on, spin the table until the access cut is over the motor then stretch the belt over the back of the motors post and you are done.cheers.

There are instructions there and pictures showing how to attach the belt.

Lift off the platter mat, then lift off the platter from the spindle - gently.
Underneath the platter is a sub-platter around which you place the belt - it should be held there by the stretch of the belt while you turn the platter back up the right way and place it back on the spindle.
Turning the platter by hand, you should see a small pulley come into view through one of the holes in the platter. You then stretch the belt slightly so that it slides over the pulley. Take care not to twist the belt while doing this.
