GE Blockbuster I Picked Up Today

[DET]

I picked up this nice GE Blockbuster at an estate sale this morning. It all seams to function except the tape deck. I am looking for any info on parts. Belts and Idler tire to start with. Any info on these parts would be great. Thanks

Have a look in the tech section. Quite a few threads on this model

Okay I have found the belt sizes but nothing on the Idler tire. Anyone know what replacement it takes? Thanks

You'll probably have to measure the idler tire with a set of calipers and start looking.
It's a pain but probably the only way unless someone has it written down somewhere.
The cassette player hardly ever works on these or the Realistic SCR-8s.
There's a broken spring retainer that keeps the heads from rising.
You can either repair the old one or there is a replacement piece available.

When I figure it out I will post the size needed to replace it. Thanks

Well I definitely have to order the 3D printed piece to raise the tape heads. I am glad someone makes it.
