Panasonic SG-J500 cassette belts

[MesaAZGuy]

I received the radio today and although it looks really amazing and minty, its performance is less than stellar. I paid $99 for it delivered so I cant complain too much. The turntable and radio work. The cassette doesn't have the oomph to turn the reels with the tape in. I cant find anyone who sells belts for this model. Anyone have ideas? Also the sound is low volume on the left speaker unless I fiddle with the power button several times. I know I need to get in there eventually.

You should buy the variety packs of belts from studio sound electronics.com they dont cost a fortune and there's usually belts to fit just about anything in the packs.

I do have a multipack but i don't know how long Chinese rubber will hold out. I used to get belts from Marrs Communications but they seem to have fallen by the wayside in terms of even responding to emails let alone sending their shite out.
