Cassette Deck Belt Routing

[jbs17]

Realistic SCT-32 deck.
Trying to figure out the belt routing. Old belt had disintegrated.
I drew what I think is th3 proper routing.
Can someone tell me if this is correct or not?

Welcome to AK!
I doubt that is correct. There was probably a flat belt around the brass motor pulley and the big flywheel. Probably a separate square belt around the white pulley, that might then go to a counter.
Did you remove the old ones?
The remains should have been a clue.

I had read that the Realistic SCT-33 is similar to your SCT-32. Here is how I think the three belts are routed.

1. Square belt goes around the white pulley and the inner groove of the motor pulley.​

2. Capstan flat belt goes around the metal capstan flywheel and the raised part of the motor pulley.​

3. Counter belt goes around the take-up hub and the tape counter pulley.​

Here is a video where he talks about where the three belts go to. Not very clear, but he does try to show where they should go.
