mhztweaker,

"I have collected many tape decks and learned to perform repairs and restoration on them using the tools of the trade."

I tried too, but as Clint Eastwood once said, 'A man's got to know his limitations.'

Mine fell short at replacing drive belts.
I did not have too much trouble replacing belts tbh.
I did always wonder what to do with the tub of leftover screws,nuts and bolts though..........
