Pioneer KP 500 PARTS SEARCH

[tomb23]

I have a Pioneer KP 500 Underdash FM Cassette that needs ALL the rubber components replaced any idea Who would have ? Pinch Roller, drive belt, Roller rubbers?

Wow, hope you get it rebuilt. Mine got stolen from my '62 Impala in 1980, after it was out of production. I really miss that deck!

Depending on how bad the rubber is dried out, would rubber restorer work?

Terry at terrysrubberrollers.com should be able to rebuild the pinch roller and any idler wheels, etc. at reasonable cost.

For belts, try Fred Marrs... he has a gazillion belts, may need info from you on the dimensions though. marrscommunications.com

I'm going to revive this old thread! Anybody replace all of the rubber in a KP 500? If so did you remove the wheels that run the fast forward and rewind? How? I thinkni could just replace the 'tires' without pulling the wheels if i could get the right ones.

I don't see any specs on the rubber tires and pinch roller parts in the SM.

Yeah, I emailed Terry's rubber rollers and he said he wasn't familiar with them and couldn't rebuild the plastic rollers. May just not have rewind and fast forward

Found them on reverb in Canada, ordered them. We'll see if they're right

Following your post, I need them as well.

Well, the parts from reverb aren't quite right. More to follow.

The two FF and RWD pulleys are available on Fee-bay new old stock. Reputable outfit out of Mexico. Waiting to hear how the pinch roller works out.

Yeah, I messaged the guy on ebay. The pinch roller appears to be correct from the reverb order, however I have not tried any of the parts because the belt is too short and the pulley tires seem too small. The seller has stopped communicating and I have involved the reverb support because the seller is not responsive. 60 dollars for these few small incorrect rubber parts is kind of frustrating. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

Never heard back from the seller. Messaged reverb customer service, now they are trying to get him to send me a refund. I think I might be able to find rubber gaskets that will work. Going to try that next.
