isn't fitted, the motor is on.
No idea about the IEC plug/socket with flat pins, though.

There are 2 belts in mine. The large one (which has completely died)
which goes between the motot, capstan flywheel and reel drive pulley, a little one in the reel drive mechanism. I was going
to change both.
I
don't suppose you've got the CPC number for
the belt you used, the
CPC
catalogue is almost impossible to obtain...
Hmm... I vaguely recall two belts as well, but I don't have a record of
the part numbers.

I doubt I'd ever use that facilty. In fact I bought all the bits and then
found I needed new belts in the cassette recorder...
