how to tell if a turntable is belt drive or direct drive

well unless you got an absolute steal, i'd be willing to bet they're belt drive based on the price...just google the models or read the manual(s) that should help.
 
pull the platter off, if thier belt drive, you just screwed urself because those belts are hard as sht to get back on, LOL. honestly tho, u should be able to tell by pushing down on the edge of the platter, most direct drive platters don't move that much. also, if you take off the mats, u might be able to actually see the rubberband down in there thru the platter lift holes.

also, i find it hard to believe that you visited a manufacturer's website and they didn't list weather it was belt or direct drive, thats the first thing listed about any turntable. thats like when they list weather a car is automatic or manual.
