Default Grundig TK248 tape recorder

Hello all.
I was given the above tape recorder after it had been stored away for 20 years.
Electrically and mechanically it is fine and is in pristine condition.
However on removing the top panel I found the two drive belts have perished and broken. I have purchased new belts from Ebay but have no idea how to fit them, as no information was given
Can anyone supply a service manual or inform me how the replacement bets are fitted. I am quite happy to purchase any manual.
Thanks and regards

I seem to recall the big long one is inserted after loosening or moving the upper capstan bearing assembly, which saves you having to dismantle most the deck. However, it's been almost 20 years since I last did this, memory fades!
I might drag mine out and see, as it probably needs a new belt by now. If you have it to hand, I'd be grateful to know the belt dimensions!

Thanks for the two replies gentlemen but presently on an extended holiday in Croatia. On my return I will reply with the belt dimensions and check out the radio museum web page
