Hello all,

I've got a TD150 mk II with some issues that come up only when playing 45 rpm discs. The belt guide moves up too far, so that it scrapes against the platter in 45 position. It also fails to bring the belt up on the capstan (I suspect this may because the old belt isn't as flexible as it needs to be in order to slip over the larger top portion of the capstan).

I'm not sure how the belt drive would have ended up bent or out of line, and haven't figured out how to realign it properly--that's the biggest problem. If anyone knows, please drop a line. Thanks very much,

Marlon
