Below, the method of measuring the belt size, type and thickness. Always use the same type!
When I (the writer of this manual) replaced the belt in my 1530 datasette, I measured that the
thickness of the new belt was 1mm x 1mm (in other words, a 1mm square belt).
It had a folded size of 122mm (or a length of 244mm)
I also measured the diameter of the belt, when I laid it out in a nice circle, that measured 78mm.
Now these measurement may be a little bit inaccurate, considering that it is a material that stretches
easily, but choose the belt that is closest to you're measurements and you'll be fine. Keep in mind
that the old belt might be stretched a littlebit and therefore measure a slightly larger size (which
could be up to 10%), this may not seem like much… but it's more then enough to cause problems.
Another way could be by using a simple ruler and two ballpoint pens, a method shown below:
