Just wanted to thank everyone that responded to my last posting on whether or not to repair my wife's 1927 Marantz turntable. Found a new belt on Ebay for about $8 (thanks to Steve Karl), just installed it and the turntable works like it did way back when. Glad I asked here before chucking it Poly

Moral of the story: the fact that a technology is "old" doesn't mean it's obsolete... otherwise, pens and pencils (not to mention everything made of leather or wood) would only be available on eBay.
