New Motor

[Transistorized]

My RX-7000s cassette motor finally gave up after 40 years.

How lucky would a man have to be to find NOS after 40 years? Well....I found one!...and I'm not only playing my cassettes but the lottery as well. The celebration booze is flowing too.

Its 1981 again!....or at least it makes me forget about 2020 for a while....and that makes it worth every penny.

I'm not sure but it is certainly common for manufacturers to share motors.

I looked up the part numbers for you in the service manuals. The JVC M90 has two motors that have different part numbers. The capstan motor appears to be the only close match part number wise to the M70 but research to the specifics of each motor would need to be made to guarantee it would work. The reel motor doesn't seem as though it is in the same ball park numbers wise.

M90 Capstan motor (MHI-5E2LDPB) Reel Motor (BFT6B01)
M70 Motor (MHI-5E2RDPA)

There are so many variables that have to be just right for them to work. I had to fight a lot of variables and ended up finding the exact motor. For the RX-7000 the motor has to be 9V, CCW, 2200RPM (although a common 2400RPM would probably work with a speed adjustment), spindle shaft length and diameter, motor diameter (mounting holes) along with a standard positive and negative wiring terminal.

I ended up getting 4 motors that wouldn't work before finding this new one. It was a challenge to find a 40 year old NOS motor

Thanks for checking bro muchly appreciated , it was the capstan motor i was thinking about but with so many variables i guess i wont risk it and the m90's are fine at the moment touch wood lol
