Replacing tape recorder belts if needed with thicker ones

Revised addition. The following seems to be wrong. Use a belt as thin as the original. Do as written below only in emergency.


At your own risk.


If a belt as thin as the original can't be found and a slightly thicker has to be used...


The diameter may need to be equal to the old slack one or slightly larger.


A thicker belt has more molecules to do the tension job.


It was tried successfully on Sanyo M-G32 Walkman and on Sony TC-D5 PRO.


Experience will tell if it right or one with a smaller diameter should be used.


Is it alway best to use the same thickness and the diameter that will give the desired tension anyway.
