Here I offer one rubber idler ring (tire) for Technics DD cassette decks. The dimensions and shape of the ring is exactly the same as original (T-shape). The ring is of TOP quality, made using professional technology, not hand-made. No parting lines are visible.
Why do I sell them? Because I couldn't find any quality alternative, I had to produce them.This is rubber ring only, idler disc is not included!
MY RINGS are NEW, maximum 2 years old. After 2 years, I will order new production.

A: Usually about 20 years. It depends on the amount of additives added during vulcanization process. I tried to avoid using too much additives for increasing the material elasticity, so I hope the belt will last longer. But who knows...

A: It is not expensive. It is sold in small quantity using professional techniques, like molding, vulcanization treatment. If they were sold in thousands, the price could be lower
