Hi Richard
Unlike the A77, the B77 has its mounting threads in the capstan motor housing. The clearance holes in the B77 chassis would need to be slotted.
Best wishes
Nigel

Hi, Nigel and all,
I converted two A77s to high-speed by slotting the motor shafts and
using machine screws and nuts to secure the motors. The first time I
did it, I carefully calculated the required offset and had a
machinist at my job mill the holes precisely for me. The second time,
I copied what had happened the first time very carefully with a round file.
While I prefer other methods of doing this type of transfer, this is
a possible route.
