Re: Technics RS-TR555 Double Cassette Deck Part 2

Dear All,

I opened the deck today and figured out that a gear on a motor had slipped outward. I pressed it back and the deck functions. However, it seemed a bit strange that both side of the deck had the same problem. After a closer look, I noticed a crack on the gear. Any hints on where to get a replacement. Below is a link of 2 photos showing the gear before and after repair -- these are the closest look without taking it apart.

Furthermore, the decks still functions irradically when pressing the butttons. Should I look for the ICs or ?? Thanks.

Photos above do not show enough detail to get any insight into the issue.

Failing a replacement--or reliable repair--of the gear (plus probable re-engineering in order to prevent recurrence--based on the fact that the same thing occurred on both decks), no other other fixing is advisable.

Either fix that problem definitively or don't waste your time polishing a car with a blown engine.

Try here for Panasonic parts. You will have to order the original part to fix your cassete machine.

Dear All,

Thanks a lot for your help. The link for panasonic parts does contain some parts for my deck, but I need to figure out its name first. By the way, I might just backup some of my favourite tapes into CD or MP3 with it before disposing it if I could not get the correct parts. Thanks again.

if parts are hard to find, you can remove the gear then try supergluing it to the motor shaft. mark the shaft with a indelible marker before removing the gear so you know where exactly to position it after.
