Lloyd Borrett Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I have a Teac C-2X Cassette Deck that I'd like to get going again. It seems it needs the motors replaced, new idlers, plus rubbers. Does anyone know where I might be able to source suitable parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simonon Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 WES components have a good selection of belts ( just google them) Try cleaning the rubber idlers and pinch rollers with a cotton bud and some Isopropyl first if they have not perished or gone sticky. I sometimes lightly buff them with some 1200 emery paper if too shiny. Pinch rollers and belts may be available on Ebay with a search. Tape speed, wow and flutter may be an issue as motors are sometimes faulty. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Borrett Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 While I'd like to get my Teac C-2X Cassette deck going again at some point, I decided to look for alternative devices to use with my cassette collection. So now I have a NAD 6050C 2-Head Tape Deck to go with my NAD 3020 and 4020A setup in my home office. There's a Nakamichi ZX-7 3-Head Cassette Deck coming to replace the Teac C-2X on the vintage hi-fi setup. I expect to use this unit to transfer old cassette based albums I can't locate on CD to FLAC files at some point. A Denon DRM-700 3-Head Cassette Deck is coming to go on the Denon based system in the master bedroom. That should just about do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd Borrett Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 No. I’d Ike to hang on to it and hopefully find a way to get it running again. I’ve had it from new and really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
