3 new drive belts installed and the tape transport appears to be working fine and all 3 speeds work. The original flywheel drive belt looks to be holding up (thought originally it looked a bit loose). Did quite a bit of cleaning, lubing various stiff parts and glue repairs.

Next to check out the very stiff (and some positions not switching into at all) Mode select switch. Very unlikely to be the associated electrical switch, which is multi position slide switch on the main board, assume problem to be a mechanical problem with one of the connecting actuating mechanisms.
