[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 800174, member: 807"] Agreed. They usually have a motion sensing system on the right reel hub, or counter pulley. If a belt (or rubber idler wheel) has failed, the reel hub does not turn and the mechanism 'thinks' the tape is at an end. Not difficult to replace, but it sometimes involves a lot of disssembly - many things to remove before the belt can be got in. And, getting the right replacement can be tricky: with no official service and parts support any longer, you have to buy a generic belt, and that means YOU have to measure the size, which you cannot do from measuring an old belt that is broken or streched. You need to make a 'test belt' from cotton thread to check the size. The other common problem is grease that goes hard and jams up the moving levers in the mechanism. Turpentine is good for cleanng that. [/QUOTE]
