can anyone help please? while my nt1 is running good at present i seem to have a small problem with rewinding, everything starts fine but as we get near to the end it slows down almost stopping altogether.
could anyone point me in the direction to sort this last little problem please?

elf don't like rewinding due to them being driven by rubber belts not like bell and howell that have plastic gears .you could try changing the belts which I have in stock or better still get a set of rewind arms which I also have in stock

Thanks david. I have fitted new belts and normally use bench rewind so i guess thats the way to go [Wink]

Save your motor. Use bench rewinds.
