Dear Alain,
Fellow board member and friend Brutus442 used this 'M90 kit' I put together for him successfully although the flat belt isn't quite as wide as the original :
Medium flat belt, approx 9.3"
Orbicular Belt Square approx 9.0"
Small Belt Square 4.6"
Down at the bottom is the 0.35 x 0.35 (1mm square cut) belt with 4.5 inches doubled making a total 'inner circumference' of 9 inches
Just above is the 'medium' (I only have 3mm wide belts)FLAT belt at 4.65 doubled or 9.3'
From what I've calculated in mm for visual accuracy
118.11mm = 9.3/2 inches converted
114.3 mm = 9/2 inches converted
58.42 mm = 4.6/2 inches converted
88.9 mm = 7/2 inches converted
66.04 mm = 5.2/ inches converted
based on the manual:
VKB3001-012 Capstan Belt SCX7.0 (square cut, .040-.049 inch/1mm thick, inner circumference 7inches)
VKB3000-017H Take up belt SCX4.6 (square cut 1mm thick, inner circumference 4.6 inches)
VKB3000-031H Counter belt SCY5.2 (square cut .035-.039 inch thick or 0.8mm inner circumference 5.2inches)
Hope this info helps

Hi ptaka69,
DocP is the man when it comes to the M90 belts. His research is correct. I found that the 9.3 flat belt and the scx4.6 belts were a perfect match.
Although the manual does specify the SCX7.0 flat belt it would be way too tight, IMHO. the 9.0 to 9.3 is a perfect fit.
Thanks to Docp's belts, the M90 is still being listened to as I type this! You can't go wrong dealing with Docp..HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Cheers
