I wonder if anyone ever has changed the belt on one of theese. I have tried but without success. I really would like to have this box fully working so help would be much appreciated

hi undo screws and front comes of i think there quite easy to do when front
is of undo tape screws and change belts paul

I have come as far as getting the front off but i cant lift the deck and turn it over so i can change the belt even though i have unscrewed all the screws (i think) holding it.

ok once you take the front cover off you will notice 5 screws but remove 3 the left top one and the two to the right then unplug the three top plugs from thr board above you should be able to turn the deck on its side to the right and be able to change the 2 belts they are very easy and make sure to notice the orintation of the main belt its an autoreverse deck hope this helps

I did it!! It's now 100% working!
Thanks a lot for the help ramon
