One inter-capstan belt used in Sankyo-based dual-capstan cassette decks

One Flat Capstan Belt for Sankyo-based Cassette Decks is made professionally from high quality material. Dimensions are exactly the same as the original except the width that is 5 mm instead of 6 mm. Different width was selected for  improved back-tension parameter, for given belt material. The belt quality is very high. With any aftermarket belt, it is however difficult to obtain the same wow/flutter levels as with the original belt.

Listing includes:

  • 1x intercapstan flat belt for Sankyo dual capstan transport

FAQ section

Q: I can hear lot of wow/flutter
A: There can be many reasons for it.  Most often it is worn pinch roller, dirt in the belt path, dirty or dry moving parts of player, polished capstan, dry capstan bearings, wrong belt size or quality, etc.

Q: Do you also fix cassette players?
A: Yes, I’ve fixed many of them.  Usually for my friends and for me. I have about 400 of them. Sometimes I also fix players  for eBay members but I'm very busy.

Q: I need advice regarding fixing cassette players
A: I am very glad to help. Unfortunately, I get so many question, that I'm not able to answer them all. Please visit tapeheads.net or stereo2go.com sites and ask experienced members, there. Answers are then available for everyone. I also contribute there.

Q: Do you also sell players?
A: Not now, may be one day...

Q: What is the correct belt path routing?
A: Google search your model and display result as images. Usually you will find photo of mechanics. If not, make your photo and send it to the forums mentioned above. I will try to help.

Q: My model is not listed, do you have belt, pinch roller or idler for it?
A: If it is not listed, it means that I do not have information about the size. In  case of the belt, please measure the belt length. Stretch a piece of string along the belt path and measure the belt circumference. Send the measures to me. From this I can measure the original belt size. In case of pinch roller, send me the outer diameter, rubber height, hub height and hole diameter.

Q: What belts do you sell?
A: I sell only hard-to-get belts used in later walkman models. Thicker belts used in early models should be available elsewhere.

Q: How long do belts usually last?
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...
