Turntable basics has the correct belt. I have an Empire 208 which ran fast with a new belt from Ebay, a new belt from LP Gear also ran fast. The belt from Turntablebasics runs correctly. It needs a thin belt and most for sale are too thick. The belt from LP Gear is too thick.
Here is a link for the bulb. You'll have to remove the old one and do a search for the correct one. I bought one from this web site a few years ago. Occasionally they will show up on Ebay for sale. But not right now.
Good luck. Don't use a record weight.
