Now have it sounding great.... but it's playing too fast. Not by
much, just enough to make things sound a tad hurried with
accompanying pitch shift. What on earth could make it play fast?

It's not had a new belt for years, it's been stored unused for 7
years. Could this be the problem? It's the last thing I can do
myself I think without calling in outside help. If I can find a belt
that is! Any other ideas chaps?

I don't suppose by any chance that this deck is ex USA with a 60hz
motor?


It played fine a decade ago. It was second hand when I got it in the
eighties but it was a good solid deck.

Hang on! Didn't the uk change from 50hertz to 40 hertz to bring us into line
with europe a while ago?

The belts on ebay have no "buy it now" option. And these people need specs

a place I can order immediately and select by model....
