Brand New Replacement Main Drive Belts for the Sony TCM-818 Cassette Recorder

THE PACK CONTAINS 2 BELTS - THE TWO MAIN DRIVE BELTS

The tape counter belt is not included as the correct sized belt is not currently available in a suitable quality.
The tape counter belt doesn't do as much work as the two main drive belts and is usually OK and doesn't need changing.

The cause of poor loading performance from these old cassette players is usually a perishing main drive belt becoming slack as the rubber dries out becoming stretched and inflexible with age. A "kink" also forms where the belt has sat without moving around the drive pulley for 20 - 30 years or so. This kink then becomes a permanent feature of the belt causing it to jump and slip.

This is a set of the two main drive belts used in this very popular and reliable tape recorder.

The belts supplied are brand-new replacements, as close as is possible to the design and size of the originals, but made from modern, more resilient materials. They have been tested extensively on this machine and work perfectly.

Manufactured in Germany, they are of premium quality. They are not the cheap, terrible quality things from the Chinese belt bundles so widely available now.
