Hitachi music centre.
Just finished work on this unit, it's an SDT7620 and am looking for a cassette deck drive belt, I've fitted a temporary one but need the correct one.
If someone can please help. Many thanks. |

Re: Hitachi music centre.
If you can identify the cassette deck make and model (may not be possible) you may find an online belt seller that sells the specific belt.
Nearly impossible to find the official belt dimensions, so if above no good then you could buy online a set of miscellaneous sized cassette belts (not expensive) and hopefully there will be a suitably sized belt. You could also measure the approximate belt dimension and look online for a suitable sized belt. David |

Re: Hitachi music centre.
If you can make up a string belt, remove and measure it, and choose one about 5%
smaller. I use ; https://www.cricklewoodelectronics.c...m-section.html |
