This machine isn't mine and it's mostly in storage. I don't want a rubber band dry rotting in it. Folded vinyl electrical tape wont leave a mess when the time comes.

Let me clarify:
This unit 'works' as it is. All it could use outside of a proper capstan belt is a sealed relay. The 'Omron 62V-2' relay that it uses appears to have never been reliable by design. SP playback & reverse search suffer from it. I've seen mid-'80s recordings made by this machine with interference from the relay not switching the heads over all the way.
