Thanks Birt, I'm actually one of your subscribers :) , but in this case I watch 
youtube mostly on my smart tv, and it cuts the titles of the videos after 6 or 
7 words, actually I think the iphone app does that too ; and so because of the 
title I did not realize this particular video was about ccr 82 - I must have 
missed it. I'll have a look. I think my belts were initially too tight when I 
put them in, but now - like only 1 year later - they are way too loose. Which 
means those cheap "assorted belts" out of Amazon are a heap of cr$$ - which 
probably isn't a surprise to anyone. It's not an easy device to disassemble 
iirc, so I'd rather do it once and for all now, with the super proper belts. Le

In the Links section of the description are links to the company who makes the 
belts and the distributor I bought them from. A very unscientific specification 
is ‘just tight enough to do the job’. Since very little power is being

I just made a video about the CCR-82. Link below. The belt dimensions are in 
the video description. In the Links section of the description are links to the 
company who makes the belts and the distributor I bought them from. A very 
unscientific specification is ‘just tight enough to do the job’. Since very 
little power is being transmitted little tension is needed. Belts should not be 
tight. This puts too much tension on the pulleys and wears things out 
prematurely. 

The quality of the belt is important too. I have shied away from big sets of 
random belts to buying belts of known length and quality. That way they should 
last for the rest of my lifetime at least.

 

While I got this deck mechanically working the amplifier IC was bad. I did get 
a new chip but have not installed it yet.

 Hello everyone,

 

Hi have a CCR-82 that kinda "works" but I know it's absolutely not working 
well. 

I initially changed the belts with a set of assorted belts out of amazon, again 
this "kinda works", but they quickly lost their tension,

The tape goes way too slow. 

I ordered a 3Khz test cassette, but before using it I guess I have to be 
confident in my new belts.

What would be real, actual, best belts for the ccr82 ? Exact dimensions seem to 
be a mystery.

What should be the belt "tension" (tight, super tight, loose ?) 

 

The technical manual has a tuning procedure, which i'll try to follow for the 
parts that don't require exotic equipments like small dynamometers, but if 
anyone has experiences to share about rejuvenating a CCR82 (or I guess 81) that 
would be much appreciated 

 

thanks !
