Hey guys, I finally got around to opening up my boombox and I think it is just a belt issue thankfully. I have to say it was kinda a bitch to open due to the sliders on the front not wanting to come off, but once inside it isn't all that bad. After looking around the mechanism I believe I found the culprit:
There is a wider belt that is snapped near the motor. I don't have any experience in buying replacement belts so what kind should I get to replace this one? Help with the thinner round belts is appreciated as well.
Other than the obviously broken belt, a wire for the green LED backlight was not connected, so I reattached it. I don't see anything else that is glaringly wrong with the mechanism. All of the plastic gears are in one piece and everything else seems fine. Without the service manual (someone said they were gonna post it a while back and upload it to the library but never did) or years of experience, I cant diagnose if the belt that is broken is the only problem. Here are the rest of the images, maybe I missed something.
