Oddly enough, the drive belt on mine finally broke yesterday.  The 521 is 
so simple to service that it took me only a few minutes to remove it, buy 
the replacement belt ($9), put it on...and I was back in business in less 
than an hour.
Kind of like the older transmitters...where the replacement parts came from 
the local hardware store.
