Just found one of these cassette players (in my Father’s garage - and he’s been dead 2 years), it’s had no TLC (apart from being in a plastic sleeve)

It works perfectly, playing a cassette from 35 years ago (the translation of my Father on Danish TV) I’m in the UK

Played it one last time - to record and convert to MP3

They knew how to make electronics, in those days…

Sir,
Thank you for your kind offer but as i said i am not sure about the size of the belt and sample of belt which i have removed also missing and some Plastic Parts like switch lever caps ,Plastic screw mount are become brittle so i dropped the idea for repairing.
Thanks again.

Albert,
I had planned to buy it from online but i have no idea about the size of belt & main thing is some plastic parts like switch knobs are become brittle and it gets easily cracked while handling. so i have dropped the idea.

Maybe you can still buy a set of those belts from Conrad or other electronics company? I know they still do sell sets like these that help fixing your cassette player.
