Hi, no, there is no belt, I have other loading mechanisms from other betamax models and they are different, I know the one you are referring to, with the orange belt. This one has a little motor with a spiral shaft which drives most of it, the part that's broken is really broken, it's the frame. I would like to just replace it, if I found the exact one it just screws in, re-wire the motor and I am done. It's just finding the part, I'd buy an otherwise broken machine if I knew the compatibility...I *think* some of the HF models are similar...but I am not sure, that is why I have posted here...what model did you work on? a SL 2300/2400? Thanks...
