It was very easy to swap the belt the other side of that pulley but I don't make a test till my new belts come. I need to get it fast forwarding now so both reels pull the tape correctly. Play was working although I had to tap the head a bit till it started to read the tape. The head mechanism seems to release on spring pressure but maybe a worn spring and also lack of lubrication has stopped this happening so I have to carefully use my finger and ease the heads back.
I was really pretty clueless as cassette players are new to me. However, when I was a kid, I always gravitated somehow towards cassette tapes and grew up with the cassette tape so that sort of re-kindled my interest.
Any recommendations as to the best oil to use? This player was really very dirty and must have been removed from a car after the belts broke and then left a few years.
