Hi, Wondering if anyone happens to have belt measurements or a PRB # for the original KLH Solo belts before I get out the string. Thanks!
The KLH Solo is the same as AKAI PM-01 and a couple of other models which share the same mechanism. Belts dimensions are given in this thread (https://stereo2go.com/forums/threads/list-of-walkman-portable-recorders-common-problems.7535/) at post #14. You can get the belts from DeckTech: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324233009181 Note that there are a couple of more things to do on this mechanism to properly restore it, just replacing the belts is not enough. Also, it's likely to have problems with leaky capacitors. So be prepared to replace them.
Excellent, thank you! I already tackled the leaking capacitors and I took note of the poor take up torque which I plan to remedy. I do have a Sony torque cassette to verify.
