Technics M6 Mk2 Cassette Deck-HELP🙏🏼

[Vin4life]

Hi all
I am new here


I need some help with replacing the belt on my
-Technics M6 Mk2 Cassette Deck
Can’t find any information on what size flat belt is for the motor?
And
The light lamp and VU power meters are not functional?
Lamp soldered!

The only thing is functional
-Turn on
And
-Motor is spinning well
when played or F/R

Help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you so much

What happened to the old one? Can't you measure it?
The following assumes a lot of these stuff in the documents I'm using is correct

RS m6 manual says belt is qdb2019

Russell PRB belt cross reference book says that matches to their frw10.1 model

Frw 10.1 spec is
Internal circumference 10"
Cross section 0.12"
Wall thickness 0.023"

Hi greenhorn
Thank you for your response
The belt is snapped
And V meters and lamp not working
I am not sure why?

I measured it its
27.2cm length
Around 3mm width
Around 0.5mm thickness

I am not of s good health
It’s draining me

Where do i buy the parts needed!

Thank you so much
How did you install the Bulb , as the one on is stuck and soldered
Or dose it just pull out?

And when i switch on the deck
The only thing that works is the motor
The VE metres don’t function
Or do they come to life after i put in new belt on the motor?

Bulb is connected to with wires to PCB of VU meter you have to solder it
Before that change the capstan belt if cassette plays then VU meter will move.
Also spray contact cleaner in record playback switch on main PCB .
If you have DIY soldering skills then do otherwise you have to give it to service person.

-The light bulb comes without housing, or do i get T5 socket housing ?
I find a website in AU stocking the bulb you recommend
Please see picture

How do i get the PCB out to get to the Playback switch?
Do i fully unscrew the front of switches screws?
Please see picture

And does the Playback Head look healthy enough ?
Please see picture

Thank you so much

The Head looks little bit rusty due to storage First clean it with IPA 99% Then Take Autosol ASL_POL Metal Polish clean it with Q tips it will look shiny

Fully unscrew the front of switches 2 screws Remove ,Remove Remove 2 screws from PCB then remove Tab holding RCA wires You will get PCB out to get to the Playback switch
Use 6v 200mA Bulb in deck it comes with wires not 12v like shown picture

Other question
The cassette deck face plate came out nice and clean
But the plastic part where you put the tape didn’t
Is there any trick to make it in batter condition?
And the cassette buttons for play,forward etc
How do i clean them?
Please See pics
Thank you so much

Thank You for recommending Autosol ASL_POL Metal Polish... I used it to clean the key button block on the front panel of my Akai GXC710-D Cassette Deck. Looks great!!
