changing belts on my jvc m70

"if it is not broke don't fix it "

fellow members I have a m70 it is fully working

when I hit play on the cassette deck it play's fine yet for a brief moment it take a second to play at full speed I have someone who does my repair's

I don't know if this issue calls for a service or if I should wait until the belt fully fails

thanks for you input

They are relatively simple to do belts on this deck so I'd redo them, give it a spring clean and relube the springs and whatnot.

By the way its an m70 not an m90

####thanks I called a guy to fix it, he has to see if he has the right belts for it

is there only one type of belt for the m 70?

I'm not sure but yes i think all are the same. I just collect a load of different belts and use what I have. No problems so far.

Could be belts, pinch roller or even the motor starting to go out. Full restoration of deck is always best in my opinion.

Hey Soundboy

 

The chart calls for a FRM 9.6 and a SCY 7.0. So two belts. There was a place in Toronto out near the airport that sold them but it was slim pickings when I went hunting.

 

You'll have better luck online or even try DocP. He actually rescued my M90 belt search!
