The drive belts on my Aiwa M800 have melted away and left a sticky mess on the flywheel. I can cope with cleaning it all up but haven't got a clue what belts I need or how they run. The flywheel is a single one but machined to 2 different diameters, however there was no black marks on the largest diameter section, so maybe the deck only uses one long belt to both motors. This is a fabulous computer controlled deck and I'd hate to dump it, can anyone help?
I don't Know how much this will help you,I have a
Aiwa M100u cassette deck. My belts melted away the same. I had 1 belt that's a thin long belt that goes around 5 pullys and 1 flat belt about .250 wide that goes from a motor 12v to a drive pully about 2" round.
I'm looking for belts too! Good luck!

I have two M800s from long ago; great decks. Once upon a time
Aiwa had a repair facility in San Antonio, TX, but I can't seem to
locate them anymore since Aiwa "merged" with Sony. I might suggest communicating with www.mcmelectronics.com, they are
a big electronics supply firm and seem to carry belts for many kinds
of equipment. Their catalog is extensive.
