I picked this up on eBay to have a descent small tape deck (I am aware it isn’t audiophile grade, but a lot of these older dictation decks are far better then the modern Type I record only ones) and I already know the belts will probably be trashed based on how old the unit is. The thing is I do not know how big of a belt I need to get the unit going with fresh belts so I do not need to worry about the 25+ year old belts going bad. Does anyone know if this uses a common belt I can get in a set or do I need to look for a specific belt listing? Being a Sears deck (the capstan length looks right to me so it’s not one of the nonstandard ones they rigged. Being computer compatible also helps.) I suspect it’s a pretty standard spec belt I can get cheaply.
I don’t have a listing for that model number in my cross reference. Since this is a small dictation device, I would suspect that the belt will be in the range of a PRB type SCX3.5 to SCX4.0 . You may need to open this unit up to measure the belt. These belts should be available from MCM-One and other suppliers. Expect to pay between $1 and $3 for the belt. Dan
65.2 mm (counter belt)0.7mm81.9 mm (motor)1.5mm Add these to your belt list @abrsvc. It doesn’t include a 3rd belt as it runs fine (and major disassembly is needed) but those are the major ones. I need to take the flywheel off to get it or major surgery.
