New to this forum - bought my Dad a Mark V system upon his retirement in the late 80's. Inherited the tools upon his passing. They have worked great over the years - current question centers on the stand alone 20" scrollsaw drive belt.
Broke the belt a couple of years ago - ordered two - replaced on and it has served well for a number of years. Broke that one a couple of months ago - and now cannot locate the instructions on how to replace it. (And too old to remember!!)
Anyone able to lend assistance on how to replace this belt?

Thanks!

Lookie here!

That's it - Thanks.

(I figured this was not an original query - but couldn't figure out how to do a Search on the forum. Hence the posted query.

Thanks again!

(Irony to the story is that the "extra" drive belt I had is apparently so old that it snapped when I gave it a test stretch. I do remember the stretch was quite a bit when I did the first replacement - thought I'd give it a test tug- and Snap!)

Live and learn!


Thanks again.
