I also have this machine, I've been working on it for a week now. One thing I have noticed - the RW torque as applied to the supply reel (leftmost) needs to be strong because the take-up reel (rightmost) is highly frictional. The main clutch at the rear must be able to generate high-slip friction. The small square belt I use is 37.5mm diamter x 1.5mm x 1.5mm; a slack belt won't be able to transfer the torque as applied by the motor pulley. Although, I think a 38mm ... 40mm diameter is okay, but *1.2mmx1.2mm* thickness is no good.
WOW . Very Clever .
Great video, thanks for the upload.
We can see why many tens of hours go into repairing these old classics.
Thank you for your comment.

You're probably right. These machines are very difficult to adjust from this point of view. I experienced this while repairing a GXC 730.
Hi, I bought one of these a week ago and I really like I will have just to clean. I guess like you did here.
Thanks for sharing
