gilsaluki Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 1050 belts would be a hit. lotta 1050s still in the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACML Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks. I was looking for them six months ago and could not find them. Order placed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Knight Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Update: 1050 Belts remain elusive as yet in Europe especially as its an uncommon spec with little other drives made with same belts.. As there are two types made in the History of the 1050's lifespan, this hasnt helped. I will keep my feelers out however. MSX Bitcorder is even rarer...!

Great to see you still have replacements listed as above. I have a HK unit but the belt looks like the JP one - it's only about 3mm wide, a lot narrower than the one in the HK picture on ebay, it is also about 245mm long Can you confirm which belt is the correct one please?

Cheers Aaron Hi If the belt that's broke is 'square' then it's a JP belt. And your size also indicates this also. Odd that it is a HK unit marked on the chassis (silver square in the tape area above the rollers too?), I'm guessing its up mechanism from Hk put in the plastic chassis at the factory because there was some available to use up or a homebrew transplant/mix up with units.

Richard Thanks for the quick reply Richard, The unit I have is original, from new, in original packaging so something weird happened in a factory somewhere! Pictures attached for reference if it helps. Cheers Aaron P.S.

Magic Knight Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 You've got one of probably only a few with a Japan based mechanisms made in Hong Kong. It definitely a JP belt you need (despite the title contradiction!) I never noticed the mid-spell title either until now :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfrvulcan Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Thanks Aaron, I'll get it sent out to you today, Richard Thanks Richard, Strangely I only have one blank tape to try this out with :-) I had a bunch of tapes years ago but can't find any of them so I'll settle for booting the 800, writing a simple proggy and doing a CSAVE/CLOAD to confirm it's still working.
