Hi does anyone know the dimensions of the take up drive belt on the BSR TD2 tape deck, it would seem to be about 115mm dia but is it round or square section? More to the point where can I get one from? Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks, John.

Whilst the original is round, the pulleys should be ok with a square type as it the take up
on record/play is light on a felt clutch. Fast forward uses rim drive and rubber wheel.
