Default Teac X1000M belts

Does anyone have info on a supplier for these?Unlike the other X1000s the M has 2 drive belts.Have found suppliers,mostly abroad but they all only mention a single belt.Unfortunately both belts in the machine were broken off so unable to measure them.
Thanks
Mick

You could try Google.
Teac reel to reel parts from Japan.
OpenReel.net
Kawashima Audio Service. Kyoto Japan.

Look for FB7 5534690000 1500 yen {No idea how much that is }.
Download the belt threading guide if needed.
I haven't used this company so it may be an idea to check if anyone else has had dealings with them..

I changed both belts successfully on the same model a few years back .
I was given both belts and replacement pinch wheels by someone who visited this Forum. I no longer have this deck sadly.
Beware of some belt suppliers , In the USA for instance this deck isn't very well known..
They may insist you only need one belt which is incorrect .
Hope this info may help.

PS Do you have the manual for this m/c ?

Thanks for reply Peter, yes got the manual.The japanese seller lists them as FB7 and FB9, got a quote including shipping at £45.If its anything like buying from the states I'll probably get clobbered with UK import charges too but it looks like the only way.

You could try here;

http://www.marrscommunications.com/.

They are in the U.S.A. and are recommended on Tapeheads.net.

I haven't personally bought from them yet, but next time I'm after any belts I will give them a try.

I just made a replacement belt for a Grundig 700L from some neoprene cord and superglued the ends together. Could you not do the same?

Good afternoon,

I have used vintage electronics on a number of occasions, coincidentally, most recently for a belt for a Teac X3.

Service and quality spot on.

As an aside, they do replacement bulb sets for the big Marantz receivers.

Regards,

David

Ordered a set from vintage-electronics, half the Japanese price.
