Default Re: Stella ST459 motorboating

Your thread has prompted me to service mine. The rewind belt goo was removed and
although in this early (Sept 1963) /00 version the belt was square, as it is crossover I
decided to use a round belt instead. I also had to remake one of the leaf switches where
the plastic disintegrated. Although the deck was similar to the earlier hybrid machines,
(I moved on my ST454 as it had no 7.5ips) it is an excellent diecast build with a massive
flywheel that you need for 15/16. Works well, low noise. I hope you found your fault.
