Hi,
Having bought a Pioneer hi-fi system at college in 1981, that included a Pioneer CT 320 cassette deck, I have recently found my 30 year old cassettes and discovered that most still play beautifully (the TDK D-90s in particular). As I have always been a fan of cassettes, I 'inherited' my father's superior Pioneer CTF-600 cassette deck and with the help of a service manual managed to replace the capstan belt. (Great satisfaction, as I have never dared do anything like this before!). Now, I have bought a CTF-650 on line, but have struggled to find the ART - 417 Service manual for the CTF- 650, to guide me to replace the belts (it needs a new capstan belt definitely which I ordered from the US). The transport looks similar to the CTF-600 but the electronics make getting access to the belts more difficult. Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
