Hi... is anyone available to restore a Marantz 5220 cassette deck?
Who does restoration of cassette decks?
I have one that I would like to have restored.
thanks.

Does your 5220 have all the lights working, but the play/rew/ff buttons do nothing?

It's a pretty involved disassembly project to get to all the belts in one of these.
It wasn't fun when I replaced the belts in the 5220 I had. The 5220 and 5020 cured me of wanting to ever work on another cassette deck.
To the OP, I would do some web searches for reputable repair shops.

I've done a couple 5030B's, those are worse because the old belts turn in to grease. The cleanup is the hard part.

Here's a 5220 belt replacement - not my video, and not too difficult:

I've used these belts kits in the past, quality product:

The auto stop can go wonky in these also. Have that checked too.

I’ve done a few of them not recommended for a first timer to restore

It’s a good idea to do a full belt kit change and remove the old grease and reapply

Make sure to clean up or even better replace the pinch roller

New Led lamps and a power supply recap it should be fine

The 5220 and 5020 defenetly weren't my favorite cassette decks to wo4k on. I did thi k the 5020 with the permaloy heads sounded better to my ears.
I didn't expect that.
