ACML Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Anyone know what type of belts the original 410 takes. This is the original 410 (Sanyo) that had the aluminum carry handle. See photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the old (rare) unit, not the Hong Kong one. Are you saying they take the same belts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlowingGhoul Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yes they do. "410 Models Common Items Except Where Noted". There are some different parts for the Hong Kong unit, but the belts are the same for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACML Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Good information for those with the original 410 made in Japan by Sanyo. These have the aluminum carry handle (see photo). Unlike the more common Hong Kong 410 that has three belts, this version (with carry handle) only has two belts. One main drive belt for PLAY/FF/RWD and a counter belt. So there is bad news and good news. The bad news is that the 410 belt kit is for the Hong Kong 410s. The good news is that the play belt in Magic Knight's 410 kit (3 belts) is an adequate substitute and will work on this Japanese 410. None of the three belts in the kit will work as a replacement for the counter belt in this original 410 (Japan) if that one is broke or stretched out. Before I ordered these, I pretty much assumed they'd be different as what are the odds that a Japanese Sanyo player would use the exact same belt as one from Hong Kong. Luckily one of them is close enough to serve as the PLAY/FF/RW belt. So, I just said that I'd "take one for the team" and give it a try. Unfortunately for me, once I fixed the belt, I discovered that one of the rubber friction wheels no longer makes sufficient contact on the other wheel for FF to work. There has been some information in other 410 belt threads that claims that the two 410s share the same belts and that is just not the case. I wanted to thank Magic Knight for having these kits available as I ordered this with eyes wide open knowing there was a chance it wouldn't work. If there is anyone CONUS that needs a 410 belt kit, PM me and I'll send it to you. ACML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_M Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 If you are not in a hurry, the cheapest option is Aliexpress. My new belts for my collection of 1010, XC12 and 410 recorders came from these kinds of sets of belts: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Shanghaimagicbox-Set-of-40-Small-Fine-Pulley-Belt-Engine-Drive-Belts-for-DIY-Toys-Module-Car/32617853983.html Ofcourse you cannot use all of them, but for just 2 dollars including shipping you cannot get new belts any cheaper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
