Default Re: Grundig TK140

Unfortunately you've learned the hard way not to remove those red painted screws on the top deck! In case anyone else needs to change the main belt, you remove the LOWER bearing plate below the flywheel and stuff the new belt up and around. Sounds tricky and counter-intuitive - and it is - but that's how Grundig tell you to do it!

Anyway, determine whether it's the flywheel or the motor that's noisy by removing the belt from the motor pulley. If it's the motor, oiling the bearings should cure it.
If it's the flywheel, double check all the moving parts have gone back correctly, then take off the lower bearing and grease it.

These machines run very quiet so hopefully you'll manage to get it sorted.
