How can I replace the belt in my RCA RS2600?

hi,you need to take the back of the unit and have a look at the belt or belts(over a period of time all rubber belts stretch and cause slow play/rewind or fast forward).You need to get the correct size belts(belts come in kit form,eg.two or three belts in a packet depending on type of player).TRY google for belts for your unit.One other thing to check is a capstan pully wheel,this,on some small cassette players,without a cassette inserted look at where the tape goes and you should see a small solid tyre type wheel.this tyre wheel pulls the tape along
at a constant speed during play and this rubber tyre will
become shiny thus it will slip during play.CLEAN this rubber tyre until it looks non shiny,this can be done by
a cloth and any audio cleaning fluid..hope this gets you on the way to recovery.Tom
