    Picked the Silver Conion up on eBay for a great price. It came in today and I repaired the top deck right away. It needed a belt, cleaning and adjusting.

    Waiting on belts for the lower deck. Very happy with it and now my Gold C100 has a twin sister in Silver :) Once I get belts for the bottom deck on the Silver C100 they'll both be 100% operational. Very excited.

    A few shots below of me digging in for repair. I think I started before the FedEx truck left my driveway :) Tape 2 sings very well now :). Tape 1 will work here in the next week or so once I get belts.

    Bottom deck torn down to clean goo from deteriated belt. As a plus it gave way to access the middle deck. Hmm...I think I have a belt laying around to fit that one....

    Yep. New belt fits nicely.

    Happy Thanksgiving S2G. Hope all are doing well. Don't eat too much :)

    Beauty, nothing better than a C100 except maybe two! Looks good overall to.

    Can you post a picture of the front of the lower deck of the Conion c100? From the inside that is otherwise I need a lower cassette deck because this one the gear will not raise completely to engage with the take-up reel gear. I do not know what's wrong with mine and I cannot figure it out and I'm about to give up.

    I need pictures front and back of the lower cassette deck to see where the springs go and pretty much all parts. I've got belts. It does work. It's just I cannot figure out what to make the white gear on the front to fully engage the take-up reel. When it is apart to take up reel will engage when I put it back together it won't work. I don't know what's going on. Please help. Or email me at, decentman4you2007@gmail.com

    Allow me to share with you a picture of what the spring looks like.

    The spring I need is just to the left of the center of this picture. It looks like an upside down l with a circle in the middle of it. Kind of like a safety pin without the tip or the catch part.

    Gee, they have a lot of selections on that page now. I need to know more information on how to select by the diameter of the metal and the range or degrees of motion and I guess also how much pressure is supposed to push.

    There might be a better selection from a spring manufacturer. I've dealt with some up here but they were much larger springs.
