Drive belt hell


Hi

My replacement belts arrived for the Amstrads. Set too and 
replaced three belts in the three 6128’s I have. Signs were 
good as in each case the belts had broken or stuck to the 
pulley wheel. Anyway.. failed. Not one worked. Never mind. 
Took a good while that. Swapped them over and tried several 
times. Still no luck.

I then replaced a drive belt on another Spectrum +3 and that 
worked. Sadly the machine I mended yesterday broke. I have 
two with belts that do work but the third now refuses to even 
show crap on the screen. Its died.

I have just my DD drive to rely on for 3” with the CPC range 
of machines. Not giving up. 

On a side note I never knew that AMS TRAD stood for Alan Michael 
Sugar Trading. Interestingly I did use to think it stood for 
‘junk hi fi gear made cheaply and having way too many gadgets 
for its own good’.
