M18 Technics replace belt - Part 1

[@hermanmunster3358]

I owned one of these decks some years ago. But mine had the Analogue VU meters. Great little deck though.

Ya even with the old belt it sounded good, just a bit slow / so after it comes we shall see… I think I paid like $4.95 for it at thrift store, it was cheap, no one makes tape players anymore anyways, so we only have older choices…

@@rompstar There are some new decks around, from Teac, that's one that I know of. But they no longer have Dolby NR. There are also boomboxes available with cassette players, but they use the cheap Tanashin transport, so not really worth buying.

@@hermanmunster3358 far too few, kind of an old way // vinyl just outsold CDs, but CD also coming back, mostly because of better DACs that bring them back to life ;)
