   Gentlemen,    
      
   Redundancy may have been the practical application for using two turntable   
   belts.  However,  Wurlitzer marketing had something different in mind.  I am   
   quoting this directly from the 1965 Wurlitzer 2900 sales literature  " NEW   
   TURNTABLE DRIVE:  The    
   costliest professional studio turntables utilize a double belt rim drive to   
   the flywheel.  Wurlitzer had adapted this development to the Model 2900.  It   
   results in positive record speed which, coupled wiht the new solid state   
   stereo amplifier, produces    
   the finest high fidelity stereo music in the coin-operated music business."   
      
   That being said....they work fine with one belt!  I have a W2910 and W3010.    
   The method of playing 33/45 intermix was done by a solenoid driving the the   
   rubber drive wheel to a different spot on the turntable motor.  The end of the   
   turntable motor shaft    
   was a smaller diameter and therefore spun the drive wheel faster.  I can't   
   explain the physics....smaller is slower,  larger is faster.   
      
   I believe the last model that used a belt on two different drive wheels was   
   the W2700. My 2700 has been retrofitted with the newer style where one drive   
   wheel was utilized.   
      
   Hope this explains a bit.
