The belts are cream crackered....i need to try and sort them out...to be honest im totally dreading trying to fix her (everything normally ends up in the bin) fu...k why are there no more good service engineers anymore...i just totally hate this throw away society and there shitty ipods, ipads.....i would gladly pay large to have her fixed

tim lad i couldnt agree with you more,were one of a kind you and i-anything with an i in front of it wants banning,or binning,or both....cant stand modern desposable tat techon a lighter note i hope you get the manuals for your special personal grail box,and whatever you do,take your time with the rebelt,remember how much it means to you to own this model

good luck with it and enjoy old lad

Thanks andy bro.....i just tried taking her apart lad...took all the screws out...i couldn't even get the front off...way to complicated for me....i was nearly sick just trying to do it and shaking...so im leaving it alone lad...i couldnt live with myself if i trashed her mate

thats how i feel lad if i have a really awesome one that i know i must re belt,i feel sicker for every screw that comes out the backall i can say is this buddy.....if your not sure,leave it well alone,im sure someone on here will come to your aid and help you fix her!just got a beautiful little sanyo mini that needs belts but with my history of wrecking minis when trying to re belt,im leaving this one be

enjoy her in every other way though old lad

screws are back in andy...stuff that for a game of soldiers son

Not often i make the right decision si mate but something told me to leave her alone...the boxes i have trashed is noones business...sure i have fixed quite a few but not this time.....that's what makes me mad si.....im sure there are plenty of people who would pay good money for repairs.....but people just can't be bothered anymore...including some good techs that i know around mine....they would rather waste hundreds on the disposable junk of today....it's sickening lad

most stuff these days isn't worth repairing si....last new hifi i bought brand new was a £400 sony back in 2000....within 2 years the display had burnt out lens was cream crackered you name it.....to be honest and im not on a downer...i wish i had died back in the mid 90's the world today is just not worth living in..to much has changed people gone for my liking...specially where i am...the town is stone dead most of the time..its just shit lad lol
