Fantastic video! This and the previous one on the TC-55. I own a TC-1000 which appears identical - both inside and out (perhaps it's regional model numbering? I'm in Japan). I've already replaced the belts - except for those of the tape counter - but haven't fully dismantled the unit for a thorough cleaning as you did. I'm impressed with the success of the supaglue solution to the tape counter belt replacement - although these are still functioning on my unit, I might now revisit it. Also, good use of electro sounds throughout - the first thing I play after a restoration of such devices is generally a mix of 'hertz heavy' electronic music. Cheers!
I have a Sony cassette-corder TC-56 which is almost the exact same thing as a TC-55, I may need a professional to fix mine since I'm not a full on expert with vintage items! I don't think I can do it myself.
You can try putting some WD40 if the screws are rusty, otherwise try using a torque screwdriver . Can you please send me a picture of it for more information.
Awesome. I found a TC-55 free at a junk sale. Looks great, missing black internal battery carrier, and plastic button surrounding cover, but plan to restore it. Irony is I can get a whole unit with everything that just needs new belts for $20-40 on ebay :P The build quality is astounding, but is it worth restoring for music listening? No Dolby etc.

I’ve been trying to replace the belt on a tc-56 and the screws you remove around 0:50 are just not budging any suggestions or tool recommendations
