Remove cover (one screw), slacken tension bolt, move belt from larger to

but I just couldn't justify it in terms of space or cost or use. The
modern ones with electronic speed control don't appeal as much. :-)


Mine has a middle pulley on a swinging arm. You can go from
frighteningly fast to ludicrously slow.
