i purchased this turntable with the same belt problem the belt is 12mm in inner diameter 1.5mm thick , i bought this turntable + tascam md cd1 + sony minidisc player + a couple more decks for a bottle of wiki , the owner just told me give me a bottle of whiskey and listen to all this with pleasure, I just had to make a few repairs to replace the belts
If one enjoys older work flows from the 90’s... i.e... most of my favorite artist’s albums were produced with one of these so I as a musician, I like making music the way people used to which used to be multitrack reel to reels ans cassette portastudios, loads of outboard gear for mixdown then into one of these DAT machines for final masters. Super fun but can also be a hassle sometimes
Best cassette recording tape product for the Tascam DA-30 Mkii?
That's definitely a nice unit. I'm kind of into the Sony DAT's right now. Maybe one day you could open the cover and show it loading a tape.
Good idea!

You are lucky!!!
Can I ask what would be the point of having one in 2022 ? I do love old tech
No point, it was just a pleasure having it and repairing it ! But... a lot of HiFi enthusiasts are still there, and D/A convertor is top notch

Not so cheap on this days. 😁
Retro is getting expensive, but it's worth it.
@@cheapoldhifi Thats true specially if you can do master recording on it using the technology of today.
