Not the 1000 or 2000 series....... the earlier model. Anybody any suggestion as to the EASIEST way to replace the belts?
Thanks,
Martin

Hello Martin,
The following pictures show a step by step guide to replacing the belt
Have fun [Smile]

This is the original situation

Here i have removed the axis at the top, remove 4 screws and remove the spring

Here i have removed the trafo and the pulley that keeps the central axis at its place.

Belts are removed.

Second part follows soon.

Try now!!!!

Both of the belts, trafo and pulley placed back into the projector

The axis at the top placed bakc (not with the screws yet) Place the top belt around this axis as well now.

Screw the 4 screws back into its place, place the spring again and then your done.

Good luck

[Smile]

Thanks, Thijs,

Brilliant photos. Since posting I found this.....

This slows it all but with very poor visual coverage (common on Utube!!!!) and in an illogical order. Your pictures and sequence make it much easier! Thank you very much.

Got the belts changed (easy-peasy!)..... then found that a small part on the feed arm drive (Top-left in 2nd photo in both of Thijs's posts) is suffering from "zinc-rot", so is loose and doesn't do its job. Anyome got one on a scrap machine?
