Belt for Dux 9137 reel to reel - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Dux 9137 · 3rd Jan 2019, 5:44 pm

Hi!

I have an old Dux 9137 given to me by my brother. He bought it when he was young back in the 70ties.
The belts was very soft an stuck to everything when I removed them.

There several sellers on ebay with kits for this model and N4407. But some are all round and some with both square and round.

The front belt was so intact that I could see that it was square. But I dont know about the rest and I cant be sure they werent change before and correctly.

Is the front belt sopposed to be square? and what shape does the counter belt have and the one on the back on the big capstan wheel/speed changer, is that round or square?

Any body know the original shapes of the belts in this model?

The original belt was a triangular section, now long obsolete. Just use a suitable sized o-ring for both the main belt and capstan drive. Unfortunately I don't have the dimentions/info for mine to hand, perhaps someone else here can advise.
