Default Sony TC-55 service manual/belt diagram needed!

Hi all,

Replacing the belts on my TC-55 today, all of the old ones have turned to a sticky substance... I have no clue how they attached and cannot find anything online!

Hi em536716:

Send me a PM with your address etc and I'll send you scans of the relevant pages in the Sony TC-55 Service Manual(they're too large to put on here)

Tony

Hi, I would love it if you could send me the manual pages for changing the belts on the TC-55. I'm particularly confused with how to change the small mode belt. It seems that a whole bunch of wires are in the center of this belt. Easy to cut off the old one, but I don't know how to install a new one other than by desoldering a whole bunch of wiring.

Official Sony service manuals were issued to authorised Sony repairers and details for fitting drive belts were minimal or even not included (except part numbers) as, being an authorised repairer, you were expected to have the skill to work out where they fit.

Here are the 3 main pages that make any reference to drive belts (partial drawings)

Good hunting
