Mike, Nigel, Mark, and Maarten, thanks to you all.
An update is that I found amongst the box of spares that included the NOS lacing cord set (including pulley), another [used] pulley only. Have now installed that and manually tested the whole loading mechanism without power, by using a screwdriver in the flat groove in the top of the loading motor spindle, and, all rotates as it should.
New belts are already here to be fitted, so hopefully the machine should be ready to try with power within the next few days...
Oh to have a 1501 or 1502!

Philip
