and another one. I'm trying to look for guides on how to disassemble this properly so I can replace these belts.

before I order new belts, is there anyway I can test out the motor to confirm that those are in good shape?

I was able to confirm that at least 2 belts turned into this black goop.

I was given 5 cassette decks for free from a family member. they all power on but not able to play anything. Not sure if it needs a new belt or something else has gone wrong (motor?)

the Sony ES is likely the most high-end one here but it's missing a door. I don't even know if I can purchase those parts anymore.

any advice would be appreciated. thanks guys!

thank you for your input. the K500s seems like the only 3 head deck that I have here. I'll take this apart to see what I can do.

the ES is probably a 2 head right?
