Paul, thanks for raising this important question. This 'extra' thread guide/take-up is one of the 500's more interesting innovations, but was dropped by Singer on subsequent models. I've seen it on one other model, the 411G Slant-o-Matic (see photo on 'Gallery' page) which was a funky hybrid of features from the 401, 400, and 600. From advanced smart metering technology to renewables, we have the solutions, services and technology to bring your grid into the modern digital age.
The product of Singer’s painstaking effort is a Porsche 911® restored and reimagined by Singer. Out of respect for Porsche, and to respect Porsche’s trademark rights, this incredible machine should never under any circumstances be referred to or described as a 'Singer,' 'Singer 911,' 'Singer Porsche 911' or a 'Porsche Singer 911,' or in any other manner that suggests that it is anything but a Porsche® 911®.
. Meets or exceeds OEM specs. Found in many types of equipment. This belt is of recent manufacture.
Original legacy belts no longer exist. If they did, they'd be too old to sell in good conscience. As far as we can tell, even if the manufacturer name was stamped on the belt, all belts supplied with original turntables were outsourced to a belt specialist manufacturer, like ours are today. Our belts are made using state-of-the-art vulcanization chemistry, forming highly crosslinked polymetric structures which ensure long-term elastic stability even under the harshest conditions. Prior to installation of your new belt, the belt path should be cleaned. Here in the repair shop we would use common household rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) or a similar solution to clean the old, (often invisible) belt residue from the entire belt path, including the hub around the underside of the platter, so it doesn't contaminate the new belt. With the belt off, we would get the turntable into play condition and hold an alcohol soaked Q-tip on the side of the spinning belt motor pulley.
It's amazing how much black contamination comes off from the old belt. ?and growing. If you know this belt is correct for your player, please let us know so we can add it to our database and help other owners of your model. Our Find My Player tool is constantly updated.

If you want a belt kit for your model, simply add each belt shown under your model in our Find My Player popup search tool and you have created your own belt kit on the fly.
