The reason belts were used is they would take up the wear instead of the parts of the deck, similar to a drive belt or alternator belt on a car....instead of the pulley wearing out, the belt wears instead so it can be replaced more easily than a gear or pulley or fluywheel....hope this explains why...JVC Floyd said:I never understood the use of farking belts in a tape deck , its like building a goddamn tank and using a rubber band to drive it . farking stupid!.
I agree floyd, for instance you don't see belts in old clocks lol the other thing that pisses me off is that all the cogs in the decks are plastic, not in old clocks, farking stupid if you ask meJVC Floyd said:I never understood the use of farking belts in a tape deck , its like building a goddamn tank and using a rubber band to drive it . farking stupid!.
