Default Re: Goldring 101 Turntable

Turns out it not like BSR or Collaro - I found that there is a small screw underside that has to be removed. Then the turntable lifts out with spindle which has a captive (I hope!) ball bearing at the bottom. So now I know how to remove it. Looks like a 70mm x 3mm x 0,6mm flat belt will be OK. Original is missing so not sure but the plastic fork that moves the belt to change speeds has a gap just over 3mm. Also the rubber debris on the pulley is 3mm wide. I'm not sure if the fork has been made wider by an incorrect belt before - see picture of it - was it made like that? And another puzzle - the larger plastic pulley at centre of the turntable isn't solidly fixed to the turntable - it's a tight friction fit - not sure if this is correct?? Does anyone know?
