Thanks for that, i have lots of replacement belts in my stash, i will try a few later today and see it it makes any difference to the tape loading, maybe the belt that is in there now has not got the torque to complete the tape wrap, and therefore the machine does not know a tape is loaded ( clutching at straws here )
