Last week I found a JVC CX-F5K in a recycling container (I'm not a native English speaker; what is the correct term for a facility where you can dispose of electric devices?) It looks fine and actually works 100%, but with audible W&F. I assume it needs internal cleaning, lubing and a new belt. I have bought the original service manual on eBay, expecting it to arrive in a week or so. But this model seems to be very rare, and I cannot find a source for belts for it. Any suggestions? Cheers, Richard
I would check with Fix Your Audio on our home page https://fixyouraudio.com/ That's a great looking model, I tend to look for JVCs but they can be hard to find and haven't bought any yet; I do have their kangaroo boxes but I'd love to find one like yours.
