WTB: IBM Selectric escapement drive belt
I have a Selectric Mag Card II, which needs an escapement/backspace drive belt. This is not the main operational drive belt, but rather a separate mechanism in the back left of the machine. IBM part no. 1460471. Does anybody know where I can find one?
Thanks,
Steve

Persistence pays off — I found what I need. Part number: Gates 60XL025 / PowerGrip 9257-1100.
The Gates version is available from Amazon and many other sites.

One last update... This is actually a 29-tooth belt. With that installed, the adjustment sits right in the middle of its slot. Now that I know what to look for, the various size belts are not hard to find.
