Today, we take a look at a rather nice little 1988-1990 Panasonic RX-CT800 Radio Cassette.
The unit functions well, but, it would bot fast forward or rewind on either deck. A couple of belts were missing, presumably turned into belt goo. I replaced the belts and restored operation.
A very easy unit to dismantle.

Thanks for this. I have a RX-CT840 with a similar control setup on the face plate. Nice thing Matsushita used the same cassette mechs through all of their RX-CT800 line of boxes or this would have been a pain.

Thank you so much for making this video, I know how much time and effort it takes to post content. I truly appreciate the help. I was about to take my unit to the E-Recycle center. Exact same problems with the decks and the tuner. Did you have any luck with gluing the band? What glue did you use? Can you recommend a good place to buy the belts? The cheapest I've found on eBay is $16 (US) which seems a bit high. Thanks again for this. I bought this player new around 1986 and have many great memories with it.

Hello, glue, just a high quality super glue, and a piece of thin metal, to act as a brace. Belts, I bought a mixed set of square belts, off of eBay, varying sizes and not model specifc.

@@JCTsFascinatingHobbies Thanks. Just replaced ALL the belts tonight with a generic kit, works great thanks to your video. Will try the super glue and metal brace next to fix the tuner. Have a wonderful day.

Hi Mate, I have a Panasonic RX CT820 twin cassete player similar to the one you have. I have 2 broken belts, similar you have done at 31 minutes. one is small and other is big going over the central motor.Any idea what size they are? or where can I get a manual that will have belt diameters?

Hello, in the end I bought a load of different sized square belts from Ebay, and selected the ones that were best suited to the situation. It takes a few attempts to find the right one.
