    CT-F1250 Belt replacement

    This one is harder than the 900. Front belts are a pain but they are in. One "light lavender/purple colored wire is a loose. It came off and have no idea from where. Also trying to find out on here where the little ground wire hooks too in there.

    CT-F1250 Belt replacement

    Hey all I am in the middle of replacing my Pioneer belts on the CTF 1250. I put the main belt on with little problem but I cannot figure out how to get to the front two belts. That would be the smaller belts. If anybody can help me with this I will keep my eyes open and my phone right here thank you

    Pioneer CT-F900 cassette deck eats tape with new belts

    Thanks Rich. Do you think the motor has to work harder now with the new firm belts?

I just don't know if I should move onto the motor...

    Pioneer CT-F900 cassette deck eats tape with new belts

    Pioneer CT-F900 cassette deck eats tape with new belts

    Hi all. I have been struggling with my pioneer CT-F900 cassette deck as it eats tape right after I replaced the belts. The capstans spun fine and tight bit when I put in a tape, it will start to spool at the bottom right. For some reason it seems like its the mechanics on the front. I took this...
