The only cameras with belts that I have heard of were the Canon Rebels/Elans which use one under the base plate to power the film advance sort of like a belt-drive turntable.
I can't imagine how tar would get on a belt, etc. Usually as belts get old they lose their tension and sag or get goo-ey.
Clean the belt and whatever it connects to with lighter fluid or replace the belt. |
