[Hallicrafters] FPM-300 mk-ll belt

Hi George,

I replaced the belt on one of mine some time ago and as I recall, getting the 
front panel off was easy.  Then turn both switches in the same direction 
until they reach the rotational end. Obviously, take care that they do not move 
during belt installation. As I remember, the pulleys for the belts will slide 
off the switch shafts and you have to do that with one of them at least, since 
the belt fit is extremely tight. I had a friend visiting at the time and 
pressed his extra hands into service. He handled one pulley and I the other. One 
person can do it, but it is a lot wasier with two.  You might put some WD-40 or 
similar lube on both shafts to aid in slipping the pulleys back on. Replace the 
front panel and you should be ready to go.
