Hi,

I am working on restoring several D8443s and none of them have belts for the tape counter. I have ordered some new ones but I can't see how to thread them onto the tape deck itself. Can anyone provide some guidance? This site has been a tremendous help to me as I work on the boxes.

I haven't worked on one of these in a while . sometimes the belt goes around the base of the tape drive spindle if it does you will see a groove at the base of the spindle that the belt sits on.
