Early C4 Cassette player
Does the cassette player on early C4s have a belt that drives the wheels on the deck or gears. I have taken mine out looked inside as best I could without totally dismantling it and do not see any belt. My take deck has stopped working.

The belts are findable but, as Cruisinfanatic says, that's not the real problem.
A few years ago, I really wanted to get my cassette working. However, I found that, among other things, the auto reverse is a fatally flawed design and there aren't readily available, easy to install parts to fix it. In the course of my study, I found that there were some places I could send it for an attempted fix, but when I contacted those places they indicated that: 1. It was going to be an expensive, custom repair. 2. There is no guarantee that the repair would work (but I would have to pay either way) 3. If the repair did work, there was no guarantee as to how long it would work. So, despite my enthusiasm for the project, I ended up giving up on it and now just use a bluetooth that broadcasts to an FM channel. I think the only way repairing the cassette makes sense is if you have the money and want a concourse-winning car with the original sound system. Neither of those applied to me. (Edit: I should note that I was looking into this about five years ago, so it's possible that there is a new resource to fix them that I don't know about.) |
