Atari 410 cassette Drive - 3 part Belt Kit 400 600 800 XL XE

Recommended Posts

I recently picked up one of these "Atari 410 cassette Drive - 3 part Belt Kit 400 600 800 XL XE" on eBay from a seller in the UK. I replaced the "play" belt in one of my non-working 410s. The other two belts were a little bit more work than I wanted to tackle tonight. Once I put the program recorder back together, I was able to load "Kingdom" on one try ... all three stages ... Atari Logo, Instructions, Game. Happy!

 

Of course I don't expect I'll be using the 410 much and the new belt will probably kink again over time.

I have the same belts, Great price and work perfectly. Just make sure to run the 410 once a month and you should be fine.

 

There is one other issue with the 410s that a belt doesn't fix, there is a spring that stretches out over time and it causes issues with FF (I think, it's been awhile since I repaired mine) I ended up triming the end off the spring and bending a new hook into it. worked well. But I'm sure a replacment spring can be sourced.

You're inspiring me to give this a try - I have three different 410's that all need belt replacements.
