If I&#39;m correct it is the one used in the 8000 / 8002 / 8004 / 9000 and the 7000 series of music centres. I have cleaned and&nbsp;fitted new belts to&nbsp;a few of these nowe but have often found that fast forward either doesn&#39;t work at all, or is very slow towards the end of the cassette. Are there any other parts that can be replaced (a worn idler for example?) I have heard that oiling the mech well can help too. . . :)</p><p>Any suggestions welcome :-)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Adam</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
