Like everyone else says....Briliant, brilliant instructional video. My TC-A790 deck (part of a LBT-A795 system) uses exactly the same cassette drive assembly. I ended up going a little further and removing the motors from the plastic base plane so I could get all the old rubber mush out off the motor spindles. Changing the belts was the easy part.... Once again, well done and thanks.
Holy crap after hours watching other videos and fumbling at 3 am with my back hurting . They never mentioned the posts to assist positioning of the belt and 3 mins after your video I'm already done. You are awesome.
FYI my belts disintegrated as well on Sony MHC-3600, all pulleys can be taken a part with ease by prying them up gently, which would make easier to clean them
Hola. Muy buen video, muy detallado, lamentablemente la limpieza no la realizó adecuadamente antes de instalar las nuevas bandas, para hacer una limpieza perfecta de las bandas derretidas le recomiendo usar thinner sin temor a dañar ninguna parte plástica.
luckily i got my belts well over a year ago from eBay probably but i forget now...anyway...my Sony TC-W435 was as gooey as the one in the video...i cleaned mine with Isopropyl Alcohol for like an hour or so...i got both decks to only slight black stains but it was sticky free...looks like melted Liquorice...anyway...did my Kenwood twin deck that week too...one deck on the Sony still has a fault...maybe i didn't get all the goo...may be a smear deep in the pulley causing problem...its my backup Cassette for a few years to come

Awesome video! Made this fix super simple and saved another tape deck from the landfill. Thanks so much for the excellent video!!
Glad it helped!
Awesome. Thanks for this. Isopropyl alcohol will help with the goo. Now gonna rock out to some 2112. Oh, I see bro also came with this tip down below.

Thanks so much for making this. Found one of these yesterday at goodwill for $10
That's where I got mine!
Would you happen to know what is causing my deck to snap tapes? Could it be old pinch rollers?
Excellent demonstration. Big help for me. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent Video....thank you thank you thank you! I hope my WE635 is similar.😀
what is the width of the wider belt? 4mm?
I'm not sure. This is the kit I bought: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095SCVYKL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

pushing Play , doesn't spin that motor on mine with a broken gummed up belt ,,,,, why?
Could be an electrical problem. Motor died or something like that.
Seems like a lot of work just to play some 2112 -AIR
Worth it!
