Excursion please, what is the size of the main drive belt in Amstrad? I am renewing a kennel with accessories for the JustCPC 2 board and the next item on the TODO list is the belt. The original was too loose for the job. Temporarily, I put on a strap in the size of a 128K + 2 gray (I bought them in bulk from 10 some time ago), but I have the impression that it is too tight (although it works quite well and will stay for now). Hence my question - what is the correct size of this strip for this tape recorder?

Hi,
Where can you order such stripes? .. I fixed one 464, I wanted to play and here the reel winding the tape does not spin ... and rewinding works

Look for "diameter" and not for "circumference".
There are two straps, 74mm and 20mm in diameter.
