Hello fellow enthusiasts,
I need to replace the drive belt in my Radio Shack CTR80A cassette recorder. Would anyone recommend a known good source for this belr? I see a few vendors have a 6.7" belt they list for the CTR80, but I haven't seen a specific listing for the CTR80A. Is there a different belt for this or are they the same? Secondly, I wasn't able to find any type of documentation (including video) on the procedure to replace the belt. Theres a large bracket over the large wheel that appears to need to be removed to let the belt slip off, but it looks like the whole assembly needs to be removed from the case to access the screws for the bracket. If that large bracket wasn't an obstruction the belt removal would be straight forward, just remove it. I'm hoping someone has replaced this belt and could offer some guidance.
Thank you
