Well, folks, it's time. We're about to fix the last lingering major issue with this old girl and find out how she sounds when making a recording. We're finally at the end. Unless something catastrophically fails on it in the future, this is likely to be the last video on this particular machine.
The new intercapstan belt comes from DeckTech (Mana Tree on eBay) and is 57mm diameter, 3mm width. A perfect fit. I've left the other WJOE belts in the machine.
