Tascam 234 rubber belts??? I needs em!

Post by Jess Ashes » Thu Apr 02, 2009 8:05 am

Hi brain,
so I've had this tascam 234 syncaset that I got on here years ago now which has never really worked properly due to a busted belt. Now I am finally wishing I could be using it but need the all important belts. Its been a while since I looked inside so I can't tell you exactly which belt was broken. It was on the right when you looked down onto the top of the transport section with the cover off.

A whole set would be best anyway for future repair purposes.

anybidy know where to find these?

cheers

ebay

I bought a set for a 246 there about a year ago and they worked perfectly. Looks like it's the same guy who has some up there now.

I second that. I had a friend with a broken 234, and when I did the overhaul for him, I bought the belts from the guy on ebay and they worked great.

I got drive belts directly from Tascam about a year ago. Surprised the hell out of me, but they had them and they weren't that expensive.

That said, I've yet to figure out how to install them. The 234 appears to be nuts to dissemble for purposes of switching a drive belt. Anybody got any insights on that?
