Rebelting a CFS-77S?

[Gluecifer]

Got most of it sorted, but no idea about how the rewind belt is mounted. Anyone have any ideas?
This is the sony with the big looking woofers and only the tone control.

Thanks brothers.



Rock On.

i wonder if the deck is the same as the 99 ?? hey sometime you can put on a belt and put the deck in rewind and turn the capstan wheel to the correct direction and see if it turns correctly

Simple but it works.

Ahh I actually did just that while I was experimenting!
I'll get some photos of it tonight after work. I know where the belt needs to be around the spool as thats
where it was resting when I opened her up. But where the other end loops to I don't know. It's a
TINY belt, and and only go small distance in any direction.. yet it's still a mystery. This is the first deck I've seen
where a secondary drive belt is markedly smaller than the belt to the tape counter.

Thanks for the help guys! I'll get the pix up in time for your morning.



Rock On.
