conion c100 f belt change

hi, has anyone worked on the bottom tape deck, what the best way to get to it, do you take the whole inners out or just take out the pcb thata half hiding it, thanks

Hey Geoffhartwell, there is a couple ways you can do this. You can remove the whole chassis like you mentioned or you can remove the circuit board and then lower the plate that holds the motor and replace both belts without removing the chassis. I have done this several times. Keep in mind you will need a 90 degree pick or a belt tool. If you want to replace the counter, run display belt, you will need to remove the chassis.

thanks snoop, great help, if i remove the back plate on the tape deck do i have to watch out for any bits or springs fallen off, and what would you say is the best method whole rack out or other way

i belive i did mine taking it all out i had to replace the counter belt .. if you are only changing the belts then just move the board

The best way is to remove the chassis. It can be done both ways in a fair amount of time. There is a spring on the outer belt on the large pulley you should watch out for. The pulley is attached to a shaft, so the spring will not come off unless you remove the pulley all the way. I have rebuilt a c-100 and they are really not that hard to repair once you see how everything goes. Keep in mind, if you remove the chassis make sure you label all of the plugs because i assume this is your first time. Also make sure you open the cassette door before you remove the chassis to keep from breaking the eject arm. I prefer leaving the chassis in because i have done this several times and it only takes me a few minutes to do. I can acually remove the chassis in about 5 minutes so either way works for me. Hope this helps

did the belt change and the heads engauge but the tape dont go round, the pinch roller is working, ff works but rw dont, dose any one have any pic on how the back of the deck should look, with the back plate off

Good deal. glad you got it goin

hey snoop, any idea how the alarm works

Actually the alarm is pretty simple. Hit the alarm button and wait about 30 sec to a minute and walk near it and it should sound. If not , there may be a problem with it.

i take it that you mean the sensor button

Yes hit the sensor button.

cool it works, sh+t it made me jump

I should have warned you about the alarm volume ! ! !
