Answer 1

Ask your local used record store. In Seattle we have three shops that rebuild  turn tables

The new one needs a new belt.

Answer 2

check yer phone book for an electronics repair shop...the techs there might be able to look at yer turntables and order the parts you need for them to repair the 'tables for you...

it might cost more than you think it will; but you can always have one 'table repaired at a time...
