Just realised the reason why the right spool was freewheeling a bit after fast forward is because the takeup spool belt has not been fitted yet, derrr, lol.
Hi hun, long time no see. I'm not on my main channel anymore because of the nasty F'ing trolls. I prefer it here, lol. xx ps. Check out my YT singing channel: th-cam.com/channels/dPtyxbn3TebQIuuLt18KxA.html
Would love to see a video of how to change the belts ? Also I have found the roller pin in the bottom of my old one but the handle mechanism seems to stop and wont allow me to turn the handle without pulling back the arm underneath...any ideas?
Yep, the roller must have crumbled away. All you need is a new roller. If your in the UK do a search for: GR1 Grundig TK120 TK121 TK124 TK125 Fast Forward Rewind Play Start Stop Roller
I used one of those nails before to fix a missing pin on a Tandberg reel to reel speed control switch years ago, worked a treat but had to buy a super strong bolt cutter to shorting the nail. They are really tough these cable clip nails.
I have found some new belt suppliers who are much cheaper and have a better size range: www.ebay.co.uk/str/ulusuk?_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2563
What sizes are they please as the belts in mine are falling to bits.
Harvey, you lucky blighter...won the radio again....woooo-hooo
I know Theo I could not believe it, lol.
Clever clogs Harvey...wooo-hooo.

I will try and make a video on the belts as I have one more machine to do.

I wonder where you got the nail idea from 😉

There is a world shortage of old Grundig TK tape machines, Harvey, just can't work out why?
Lol Theo.
