Post by: Querubin on 13:08, 13 December 17
Hi,
Could anyone help me to find this kind of rubber belt?

Some plumber ones fit but are too smooth. Sanding a bit doesn't work.

That's not a belt, it's the rubber "tyre" from the frictionwheel. You might be able to find a similar one from an old generic cassette player?

I was just going to buy a cheap set of 'o' rings off Ebay of varying sizes and rough one up and see how I get on.

It will need to have exactly the correct thickness or the speed will be wrong. It also needs to have squared edges otherwise it will wear down after a few weeks of use.

Just take a tape recorder and go to a store with electronic parts, or go to store for plumbers. :)

Thanks all for your answers, specially Zbyniur. I didn't know the exactly name of this part. This pic is what I needed. With this a new one is now comming home.

One tip for plumbers rubbers. They are too solid to make the job. I tried a few of them.

I will let you know if finally my english tall keys 464 tape deck comes to life again.

Received from Australia a pair of tyres and I could say the cassette player works perfect. During all day loaded lot of games recorded on long tapes and no problem. I think the issue is solved.

Thanks again for your help.
