1982 Sanyo M7950K Repair • Feats, Finds & F*ckups

Описание: Another 'quick' one which turned into a bit of a mammoth task, and in the middle of it I screwed a part of it up and had a massive paddy about it. But the internet loves a bit of drama, and I don't like hiding mistakes, so I left it in. I hope this illustrates that there's more to it than 'easy fix just needs belts' in these things. Turned out to be a really lovely machine, with some lingering issues I may return to another time. Ultimately glad I was able to document a process of stripping these down because they're complicated, and now I have belt sizes to share:

85mm x 1.5mm square - capstan
45mm x 1.5mm square - winding clutch
55mm x 1.0mm square - counter

I got mine from DeckTech (not a sponsor, just a helpful supplier) -
