I have a 1010 that I confirmed will save and read my BASIC programs, but the rewind and advance (FF) are a bit sluggish. By that I mean it works, but surges in speed and sometimes slows down almost to a stop. Is this the symptom of a tired belt? The counter seems to work good, but has increased error returning to zero when rewind is surging (i.e. variable speed). Mine is the Japanese made 1010 with the orange (Sanyo) sticker in the window. If it is the belt, is it an easy remove and replace operation?
