Cool deck, did you get any of the components? Let us know how hard it is to swap that Out, I have to do it to my UC-M2 one of these days. I accidently got mine when ordering another mini-system from Japan, the seller felt so bad he let me keep it and sent the right equipment no charge.
I've used the above seller with no complaints and the belts show up within a few days. Some of my equipment takes an hour or two to get to so it's not worth buying the cheap belts that might fit.

Hi, thank you for the reference. I will check it out.
Hi, I think system is in working conditions no problems except for the belt. It's good that you have used the above reference with good results.
The system was my dads and we used to use it back in the 80s so it's nice to get them working again.
Thanks

Is it the whole stack, tuner, amp and cassette deck?
If you haven't done it before, take a lot of photos, you'll forget what goes where. I use one of those blue silicone mats for my work space and painters tape that I put all the parts on while taking apart. That way I know the correct way to put back together.
I'd also have a bag of Q-tips or better yet, the foam versions, and a bottle of IPA to clean everything. If you see any black tar like goo, use a magnifying glass to make sure you get all of it out, it might take an hour or two but those gooey pieces will slow down the tape if left behind, good luck with the repairs.
