Ok, making progress.....

I bought a new head assembly from ebay for £35 and also a capstan motor control board for the parts machine. My father is an electronic engineer (GEC, Marconi and Plessy) and is slowly sorting the problems on these machines.

I have now spent £300 on these machine inc purchase price. Perhaps I should have just bought a Revox or Fostec to start with?

More updates once the parts arrive.

Does anyone on this forum sell belts for the N4450?
