Cheers Derek. I’ve done google searches a few times over the past years for various tape belt replacement and your vids usually come near the top of the search results 👍🏼

Hi, thanks for your demonstration. I was able to replace the belt. My problem with this player is that when I press "play", "rewind" or "FF", radio is on the speakers, instead of the tape sound. Any idea what may be wrong?

Probably the switch to change from tape to radio isn’t working so I’d check that out

@@TatPeddler Thanks for getting back to my question! I did spray deoxit over that area and the switch after removing the switch cover, jiggled the actual switch several times... Obviously somewhere it is shorted so when the tape buttons (those that can trigger power) are pressed, radio turns on instead...

Hi. I bought same toshiba but in red. I need to replacement the belt as well. Any idea what size of belt was? I don't have an old one to compare.
@TatPeddler3 жыл бұрын
I use a generic bag of belts from china and just find the right size in the pack usually

@@TatPeddler. I just ordered them. Should get tommorow but its best to have an old belt for a length comparison. I have to guess and match. I will try. Thank you for answer

I have one dumb question: I have a boombox from 1985 and it plays the tapes but with an horrible and dirty sound, Im pretty sure that is so dirty inside but if I change the tape belt it gonna sound like new, right?
