Re: Prinzsound 8 track & radio
Put a tape in and the track selector number should light up , change track and if nothing happens then its probably thr belt, you should hear the tape running in the cartridge too but ultimately you will need to peek inside, there's is very little inside the machines, here is mine.

Can anyone explain how to open up the player to check the drive belt.
It's the round space type model SM8. There are two screws under the handle but i am a bit unsure. Thanks. Last edited by record man; 26th Jun 2020 at 3:03 pm. |

I have yet to fit the belt but have been led to believe it is a fairly major job requiring a full strip down to allow access to it. Good luck, Peter |
