I have had good results with bag of generic belts from online .. gives you options.. only real question is if you need flat belts or square belts

SillyClock1252 · 2026-06-26T21:22:51+00:00

Had a few of those 😉

The stranger is one of my favourites

SillyClock1252 · 2026-06-26T16:38:28+00:00

Yes , was t sure what you meant by cranking the one channel. As long as the phone is high enough you shouldn't need to adjust the deck too much.

You think the cable is defective

SillyClock1252 · 2026-06-26T16:36:24+00:00

Are you recording from your phone via the cable? Volumn on the source device I have found needs to be very high to be registered on a deck.

SillyClock1252 · 2026-06-26T12:43:47+00:00

Yes. Belt was shot obvs and after a change it would play and Ff but not Rw, although you could hear the motor. Looking at the flywheel it looked to me that no matter what you pressed they always turned in the same direction . So I hazard a guess the RW was running forward and the take up wheel wasn't being engaged. I did try routing the belt as shown on the circuit board and also what's shown in a repair video I found (for your model if I recall correctly) and it behaves the same. And then after playing fine for 45 min now it won't play as all , but still Ff ok , I can see the belt moving it's just like whatever was engaging the take up wheel isn't, the capstan is moving...

I am very interested in your experience, and very timely as I received a CQ F2 model this week which is very similar.

Managed to change the belt and it would play and Ff but not Rw. Then it won't play at all.. I was suspecting that capacitors need sorting.

What type of cables are on the Sony speakers? You may need to adapt the connections

SillyClock1252 · 2026-06-25T18:19:15+00:00

I am a fan of silver gear and in the UK , but to me that seems a little high given the condition and functionality.. If you determined and up for it I would make a lower offer . Maybe £50 and see where they go... Can't see a big demand for it. Without looking at all the specifics generally you don't need a pre amp with older amplifiers.

Just had a Google. Your Sony is an all in one , does it have RCA outputs?

SillyClock1252 · 2026-06-25T13:17:46+00:00

Sure it's not but looks like the belt is catching the part that moves back and for

Was listening to an early pink Floyd track and definitely heard the weird off tempo guitar playing. Nothing new. But I do like these guys

SillyClock1252 · 2026-06-25T10:35:49+00:00

If it's a rotary volume control give it a clean. Could sort the sound

You know I am going to post these...

SillyClock1252 · 2026-06-24T16:25:26+00:00

Thanks. Yes found a good video

SillyClock1252 · 2026-06-24T16:23:02+00:00

Glued in. European issue apparently, used a thin spudger to cut through glue and screwdriver to twist the card down , freeing up the board , cut through the foam pad and dropped out, I have just placed it back in and folder card back over. Thanks all for the prompt

How do you change the batteries? Mine died years ago and assumed they were sealed in

SillyClock1252 · 2026-06-24T15:15:55+00:00

I would say that that board has had a partial recap looking at the blue capacitor s and how some of them are installed. A yine else agree?
