Default Re: Grundig TK14 etc. main drive belt

Yes, agreed.

Interesting Mark your comment about the splice always coming apart. I've had mostly good success, but I have a machine with a 2mm belt and I've had to glue it together several times, it seems to separate after some time like several months. I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact that it is rather thin, so the contact area is small relative to the belt tension. Or that I need to be more careful than usual when the glue is setting, for instance, put the belt in a vice or similar to keep it absolutely still while the glue hardens in order to get a maximum strength splice.
