If you need to replace the belt that operates the tape counter, pay special attention to its location. One
of the posts/spindles is underneath the dial faceplate and it is somewhat awkward to get the belt
around the post before connecting the tape deck spindle. In this example, I've already replaced that
belt. So, in order to keep tension on the belt, I decided to loop it onto one of the front switches.
Believe me, this will definitely help.
Now that the tape counter belt is disconnected, you can lift out the actual tape deck mechanism. BE
VERY CAREFUL!! There is an extension that is hooked onto a black, plastic arm underneath the
dial faceplate. You will have to work the extension off the arm before completely removing the tape
decks.
