Hi all -

I replaced a set of belts on my Elmo ST-1200HD (good ebay buy, but the belts were useless) and I want to be sure that I didn't make it harder than I needed to . . . (I got a copy of the service manual, but it doesn't cover belt changes.

The drive belts were simple enough, but the take up belt required that I remove the drive gear for the take up wheel. Relatively simple, once I realized it, just an allen wrench an a few minutes . . .

Is this the best way to make this change, or did I miss something obvious (happens more often than I care to admit!) [Big Grin]
