Hello everyone - I recently bought an old RD-855 cassette deck. It had some congealed oil on the two spindles and the center gear. Playback and record worked great, but FF and rewind were VERY slow. I disassembled, cleaned, lubed with synthetic turntable oil and put it all back together.
During reassembly two of the small parts went flying. :-( I jury-rigged it using a strand of copper wire, but I don't trust this to work for long term. Where can I get these retainers? I also need the two belts for the tape counter.
The attached photo shows my copper wire fix on the supply spindle and over the white nylon gear in the center.
Is it possible to get just the retainers? Or should I look at buying another deck just for donor parts?
Thanks - Bill Gee
