Wow 96 views, no questions. Interesting I take it there is not a ton of older gear floating around anyones listening spaces at the moment?

More than likely it isn't the belt. Probably something not engaging all the way. When I worked at This Audio Engineering School I had to repair all of their decks. It was a mess.
