Dynatron radiogram SRX series 20. model GC1310PW
Can anyone help with sourcing new belts for the tape deck of this unit please? The cassette switching off after few seconds in rewind/ff/play. I know its the tape counter that's not turning due to stretched perished belts.
Its been many years but used to service these when I worked at Squire Of Ealing in West London back in the early 80's many thanks |

The cassette deck may be of Philips origin but toward the end of producton Dynatron were sourcing decks from anywhere. You can buy a cheapo bag of mixed sizes online and try to see which suits.

Is this a Philips tape deck in this system, can you show us a picture, because if it is there is a good chance of getting a belt kit for it.

As Edward says, you can buy an assortment of about 30 square belts for a couple of pounds from eBay sellers. There's a good chance that you will find all you need in there. If you need to buy additional belts (e.g. a flat capstan belt) then you can measure the required dimensions and order it from somewhere like CPC.
Dedicated belt kits tend to be quite expensive even if available. |

Re: Dynatron radiogram SRX series 20. model GC1310PW
Hey thanks guys for quick replies. I have found belt kits on ebay and yes I reckon I should find sizes I need? Capstan belt could be a bit tricky and CPC is a great idea. Will give them a go. Will let you know how I get on.
There is one other issue with it. It gives out a loud howl through speakers when the play button is pressed. VU meters slam hard into red. I'm guessing this maybe a record/playback slide switch issue Any further ideas ?? thanks again all Terry |

Dynatron/Pye/Roberts/Philips all part of same company as far as I am aware? I am sure the deck is Philips made but cannot find any model/type number on the main chassis. I will take a pic tomorrow and upload Terry |

From memory the deck is a n2506 philips (or similar). The deck is modified to have the microphone socket on the top, but otherwise looks the same.
Have a look at https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/philip...r_n250619.html and check that it is the same. |
