EiKi RM1 : question : I have received a RM1 mint in box that had been in storage for so many years and as you know the take up Belts had completely disintegrated with time , After a good clean and lube of all rollers and some TLC the machine looks like the day it was made in the factory,and runs like a dream and sound is 100% it has the old style take up drum on the arm with the setscrew, i am looking for information on how to set this up correctly have installed new belts in both arms only slight problem the take up tension on the reel is slack with film any suggestion will be most welcome with many thanks M
