Question about Sony PMC-DR50 Shelf System

Sony PMC-DR50 Shelf System - need help installing new belts

I removed the assemmbly that contains the cassette player and can see the worn/stretched belts. The long belt and short belts cam off the pulleys. My question is as follows: How do I remove the old belts and install the new ones. There is a small square cover with a round component on top (posibly a drive motor?) preventing the removal and re-installation of the belts. How should I proceed from here? Thanks in advance, Agape

Cassette player will not play. need a belt for the player.

Replacement belts figure large in the repairman's armoury so most supplier's catalogues contain a popular selection of types.

I suggest you google your requirements and you should find lots of results to investigate or ask a local repair shop.

Belts are usually supplied by size and cross section. Even when the old belt is available to help identify the requirement a certain amount of guesswork is needed as the old belt will have stretched. Some cassette belts will do the job stretched just a little and some need stretching quite a bit. If the length isn't known it can mean a certain amount of trial and error and the purchase of two or three belts before the correct one is found.

Good luck!

Where do I get drive belts for a aiwa xr-m10 cassette player

Try eBay, i've been looking for these on the internet, they sell kits (long and short variety), containing several pairs of different measures (about $7 per kit), and are supposed to fit various brands and models (including aiwa).

...a hint: a belt measure tells you the diameter of the circle formed by that belt

...another hint: old belts are loose, which means they are a bit longer than the new ones, so when you select the new belt from the kit, it should be a bit shorter than the one you removed from the deck (old belt - bigger circle, new belt - smaller circle).

I'm aware that not all aiwa models are the same, the one i was repairing a while ago had a double tape deck, each deck containing two belts, one long and one short, they were a bit tricky to change, but i didn't need to disassemble any of the mechanisms, i just had to remove both decks from the housing for easier access to the belts which required prior removal of the top cover and rear panel. After that it was some 4 to 6 screws and 4 connectors (just about half less in your case, i believe).
I can't tell what your unit looks like on the inside, but in my opinion aiwas are relatively easy to take apart, but then again, i could be wrong...

Hope this helps you get closer to a solution.

regards

MY SONY LBT-LX90AV CASSETT PLAYS DISCORD AND BELT FALLS OFF

Hi. Make sure the flywheel turns freely and that the capstan pin and pressure roller are clean. If this is OK then it is more than likely that the belt is stretched, dried out or generally worn. These parts only have a certain usable life and are quite cheap to replace.

Cassette Tape Deck Problem

Unit may have worn belts that are slipping. All cassette player belts are subject to deterioration even if recently installed. You may try ordering the belts yourself and have a service tech install them. The tech that installed belts 9 months ago may have used used belts. Although dishonest, it is common.
