I've found where I bougfht these belts - it was a company called CPC.
Probably http://cpc.farnell.com.
According to the service manual the part numbers are 81-507-225-01 "Rubber
belt B" and 81-507-216-01 "Rubber belt A". They don't seem to list these
parts at the moment but they might be able to help you. In 2002 the pair
cost me about £18 inc VAT & p+p. Good luck!

Thanks for this information Tony as the part numbers are proving invaluable
in my search.

One question I have is which Rubber belt is it, A or B, that is from the
pulley on the motor spindle? It's the one at the rear of the mechanism
looking from the from of the cassette deck.

Also do you have any details of how to fit these belts and what components
will require to be stripped down to do so?

As far as I can see, A is at the rear.

Sorry, can't remember exactly how I did it. I think I merely took off the
main cover, cut off the old belts, and fiddled the new ones into position
with the aid of tweezers or long nose pliers. I didn't use the service
manual as I had forgotten that I had one at that time. The manual doesn't
give instructions for changing these belts, but it does give instructions
for removing the cassette mechanism, that might be useful.

If you want to discuss this more, please go to my web site
