We sold a few in the late 90's to several off-grid clients and have never had a problem. At that time they were still a fairly new product and perhaps had not made any attempt to lower their costs?
It appears most of the problem are related to newer models. We actually still have one new one left over from that late 90's period that has never been un-packed. No doubt the belt is probably taken on the shape of the pulleys by now.
