Cassette deck parts for older decks ???

[hntjr]

I have a Denon DR-M20 that is giving me trouble with tape loops. I have tried to find parts from numerous sources: Denon direct, Emcompass, MCM Electronics and PacParts to no avail.

Are there any cassette deck brands that support older decks from the 1975-1990 with parts inventory? I like the cassette decks from this era, but if you can not fix them, why bother?

Tascam, Sony, Aiwa, Onkyo, Nakamichi etc? Help!!!

Basically, good luck. Nobody really supports cassette machines that old.

Here's where I get my belts. They've got a decent selection of pinch rollers too. No more motors, but they do list a couple sources if you need them.

Careful with the profile and diameter. You'll want to match that as close as possible so the new belts fit the pulleys right. If you're between sizes go for the next one down. The tricky part is measuring the old ones, especially if they've melted off or turned to goo ... I hate that when that happens.
