In this video, we repair the belts in a Fisher CR-25 Stereo Cassette Deck from 1984. Usually we find interesting tape decks, but in this example the interesting thing was we were able to obtain three of them! So what better way to see if the "student has become the master" than to have a father-son tape deck repair session.
0:00 Intro
1:18 Determine the Problem
1:45 Open the case
2:07 Fisher vs The Fisher
2:32 Internal differences?
3:03 Removing cassette mechanism
5:00 Clean up old belt gunk
6:22 Flat vs Square Belts
7:10 Two days later...
7:41 Repair and Re-assembly
8:12 Where does this piece go?
9:45 Conclusion and Audio Sample

(Just noticed a couple of spelling errors when reviewing this - the tip at 1:54 should be "Keep a plastic bowl handy" and at the end the brand name of the cassette is "Maxell")
