HELP needed with NAKAMICHI RX-202

Oct 12, 2007 1 Replies

I just bought a Nakamichi RX-202 cassette recorder/player. The FF & RW won't work. I've been told it is a bad IDLER TIRE. Can someone point me to where this TIRE is?



Thanks, Terry



If you mean where it is in the machine, it's behind the plate where the cassette sits. A couple of screws hold the plate in. If you mean where to buy one, here is a place I found that sells them:

If you've never removed one of those idlers before you have to be very careful because if you push too hard trying to remove the little clip that holds it, you'll break the idler arm.

If you're not familiar with this kind of mechanical repair, take it to an expert.
