Thank you for this! These BIC decks are so handsome! And the high-speed option, cool. But they are a real pain to work, on, they say, and my T-1 proved it true. Not only the ship-in-a-bottle belt change: I had to swap out the pinch roller as well. Getting the old one off without damage to its bracket was well, very difficult.
How do the belts run..do they go..around the first capstan..then how does it run on the second capstan to the motor...can you show a sketch diagram of how the belts run!!Thanks Wayne
The belt needs to go around them in order to spin both in the same direction or your take-up spool will run backwards. Let me see if I can get a good pic of it for you.
Wayne, send an email to the email address in my "about" section on my channel. I can't post a picture here in the comments. I'll get either a pic or sketch out a diagram this evening for you.
