Hi,
My Boxford has the headstock driven from the countershaft by an orange-coloured T-Link belt which annoyingly slips at times. I've tested the tension and it seems not to be very tight, but otoh, it doesn't seem to me that wrestling it by hand inside the cabinet is very likely to get the free ends close enough to close. Particularly since it'll take a hand on each end of the belt and a third on the link and I've only got the standard complement of two :-)
So, can anyone tell me how it's done ?
Also, as a subidiary question : if/when I let go of an end and it slithers up into the headstock, can anyone tell me how to get access to re-thread it ? The only likely candidate for access to a Boxford (MK III) headstock seems to be the plate with the backgear A/B position marking. Is this really the way in, or am I missing something ?
Thanks,
David
