TEAC 1230 Capstan Drive Belt reference data

[Bookman]

For the purpose of historical reference I wish to provide Capstan Drive belt data for a TEAC 1230 3 motor Reel to Reel Player.
Having searched endlessly for what seems eons I was forced into the removal of an old belt before I could provide details to a prospective supplier. The belt I removed is slightly larger* but I purchased a 111mm diameter/350mm internal circumference 6mm flat belt item number 14 from gbaudio.co.uk.
The price was £10.00 delivered (next day).
Removal and replacement is relatively straightforward. There is a rear cover held by 6 set screws which must be removed before access to the interior can be made.
One will then note a metal plate secured by two similar sized screws located behind the capstan flywheel and drive shaft. Removal of the screws will allow removal of the plate.

Dexterity will determine if the belt can be manipulated over the capstan drive motor shaft pulley. In my case I did not remove the three motor securing screws but slackened them off to provide more space between the pulley and front fascia.
There is a greasing pad that is screwed to the back of the plate located to the rear of the flywheel alluded to. Once the plate is in position it is located behind the flywheel bronze (or equivalent) rear sleeve assembly and as such I applied new grease before refitting.
Suggested process time I would suggest is 15 minutes.

* is used to denote “could have stretched”
