Sony M-1000 Fixed Stereo Micro Cassette

I recently received an Ebay alert about a 1981 Sony M-1000 Micro Cassette Recorder/Player that came with all the manuals and accessories for 110 $ is packed on Ebay. The next day I got an alert on ebay for a rare metal tape compatible blue 1982 Sony M-80 Soundabout stereo microcassette recorder with AM/FM radio with jacket pocket for $150. So of course I bought both. The Sony M-1000 played too slowly and there was a lot of jitter. So I opened it up and noticed that the larger of the two straps was too loose and had dried out a bit in 38 years. After scouring the internet I found a way to buy about 90% of all replacement parts but finding the belts was a mystery. I have commented on the youtube video comment sections regarding the belt but never received a response. So I took a chance and bought this pack of 100 square straps from Revain. There are many belts (100) at this price is an incredible deal. These belts are a bit thicker but still fit perfectly with the mltor and pulley. I was so happy to find a vastly improved strap over the original strap that had been stretching and drying out for so long. My recently purchased Sony M-1000 now records and plays music in stereo thanks to the new strap in this kit. If my Sony M-80 ever needs a new strap I have 99 left of this set. If you enjoy repairing old square belt tape recorders, I recommend this set.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
