Can anybody please advise the diameter of the drive pulley, the one mounted on the motor shaft please. I have to change the motor speed (50Hz here )
but need to start with the correct drive pulley. I guess its 1 inch but would appreciate confirmation.
Thanks Laurie.

Hi Simon,
Many thanks for your reply to my query.
The type no. appears to be:- R 16 A or perhaps R 16 H
Serial no.6632. It is dual speed 78 and 33 rpm selected by moving a
lever on which the motor is mounted, engaging two different idler pullys
It is fitted with a M-55 Master-Pro 162 overhead recording mechanism.
I hope this information helps.
Regards Laurie.
