FWIW, I have two C-101 Cassette Decks, that needed both belts and
idler tires. I found that the transports are either Matsushita
(w/Mitsubishi motors) or Mitsubishi. The one resource that might be
the easiest is Pacific Stereo, a spin-off of the defunct So. Calif.
audio retail chain that's now a parts/info resource. You can also
send your old belts, and complete idler wheels (without removing
tires) to Russel Industries to be eye/hand matched.
If you really strike out, you can take your idler wheels w/tires to
a seal/O-ring supply house for matching; however, you may have to
buy a minimum quantity of 25 or so @ 5-10 cents each. That's cheap,
if you factor in what your time is worth, not to mention shipping
and/or fuel driving around to hopefully find what you need.

if you still haven't gotten the info by Thursday
I'll help out with pictures. I have three units -
one of which is in daily use, so I'll take photos
first, then take the 2nd apart to see where the
belts go since i I have to replace the belts and I
have the belt kit (it's about time)
Do you also have the
schematics?
??IDK about my 3rd deck:-/

Thanks
for the reply. I have found a
set of belts, my problem is
how do they go in around the
idlers. There seem to be two
for the drive. I was hoping to
find a picture of them
installed.
??
??
??
If
you have the old
belts, you can start
with measuring them.
??Broken belts after
being cleaned can be
glued end to end with
super glue to help
make the measurement.
??What you want is to
measure the diameter
(round) or side
(square) belt and it
length stretched. ??You
measure the length
with about a 1/4???
spacing between the
two belt side.
??Typically there was a
tool that mad these
measurements for you
but I do not know
where to find them
today. ??I have not
looked. ??Anyway with
the length and
diameter, you should
be able to find a
replacement belt.
??
??
Where can
I find
instructions
on how to
replace belts
on a SAE c102?
??
Thanks,
Joe
