My mother had a White Rotary all her adult life and never derailed the belt. The belt was only replaced once during in her life. My daughter still has her machine. Can't ever remember a stretched belt. I had a model 66 Redeye and didn't derail that machine's belt. Now I'm curious. Maybe we were just lucky.
