Belts Sizes for Panasonic RX-FW50

[Groovy_Tunes78]

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone knew the belt sizes for all the belts for my Panasonic RX-FW50. I've searched high and low and can't find anything on the Internet.

I found the belt sizes for the rx-fw39 but I couldn't find any info on the "50" I'll put it here, hopefully it'll help somewhat.

Thanks! I've tracked down the manual for my Panasonic and it lists the replacement belts as being "RDV43Z" and "RDV42Z" is there any way to use these model numbers to track down current replacement belts.

I don't have any belt cross reference manuals but you can contact this company in NY. They've helped me out in the past with similar situations. russellind.com/contact.htm

Unfortunately many boxes have no cross reference info, but I've had great luck measuring belt paths with string/wire and subtracting 5%. Sampler packs work too but sometimes the size/cross-section you need is missing (and quality can be iffy).

Ahh, ok. I have the original belts intact, can I just measure them and remove 5%?

No measure the path they take on the pulleys, the belt has likely stretched out over the years and doesn't represent the original length anymore.
Once you know the cross section and length you can find the closest match on the chart of standard belt sizes
