Hello again all

I have got service data for this machine now (yes, I know there's a big gap between the last post and this!) but the only extract I have been able to get my hands on does not include information on the belts.

I've not opened the machine up yet but I presume the belts will need changing (after so long surely they will be in a somewhat suspect state).

What's the best way to go about souring belts? I see that on ebay and BangGood etc there's various multi-size selections - is that they way to go or is it better to measure up the exiting belts (presuming that they are up to it) and getting specific sizes?

If, and it is an if, this one goes OK then I may pick up more small machines to play with, so a batch of belts would not necessarily be a waste.
