I just replaced the belt with a PRB generic. Now about half the time I
have to nudge the flywheels
to get the capstans going.Happens in both directions. I cleaned and
lubed the flywheels and checked endplay. Don't have a schematic for
unit. Wondering if there is a startup circuit I should be checking?
Belt seemed to be a little tight so I gave it a good stretch. No
affect.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,Dennis

Probably you stretched it too much, and now the belt is slipping. New
belts tend to be a little tight and that´s normal they tend to loose
themselves with everyday use. Get a new belt and don´t stretch it.
