Hello,

I've also got an old model N1500/15, I picked-up many years ago, that I need to get round to fixing - I found a metal loading drive gear's teeth were stripped a bit, after spending 2 nights removing all the goo the rubber belts had gone to. So looks like having to try and re-make something, assuming nowhere has spares any more.

So I was just wondering if you'd found a supplier for recently-made new replacements for yours or if you were using NOS ones (which I presume most of these would have suffered badly with age by now)?
I think I did look through my old belt kits, but hadn't got anything of about the right sizes
But I think I did manage to get an original of the service manual, in case it's not all online somewhere.

TIA,
Owen
