1st buy in a long time - Toshiba RT-8560S

[Mark GF-575]

Not been on here for years, busy collecting cassettes but here's my latest purchase.
Mint apart from the cassette deck not working.

Some advice on re-belting would be nice!!!

Thats lovely where do you guys pick up these minty boomers, ebay??

Shweet!!! Probably will need or should get full deck restoration to properly function. If you've never done one this one may be a little more difficult as it has auto reverse but it is mechanical so maybe not to bad.

Damn, that thing looks brand new.

There is a good chance it's an unmolested deck, so you might be able to simply open it up and replace the belts without too much issue.

As Bill mentioned, these auto reverse decks can be a little finicky, but if you simply put on belts, I bet you'll be good to go!

Welcome back

Clean Tosh, and at least it has a true bass/treble setup and dual VU meters. Looks nice.
