Yeah, I'm knowing NOW, that I shouldn't have taken for granted about what I was getting. For sure, the price was low for what I thought
the listing was for. The whole thing was, I thought I was getting more and have never run into anything like this before. Definitely will be more inquisitive from now on.
Having the belts themselves was the main objective. I just got caught up in the thing of getting some spares for my Recorder. After all, it is a 1968 model Akai 1800 Reel to Reel Tape Recorder w/8Track feature. I appreciate all of the input here. Ha! Looks like I have gone for ALL this time buying off of ebay and STILL not had a conflict, after all. I'm usually pretty thorough in my searches on there. Guess I got carried away because of finding stuff for my old Stereo System. I DID get another AM/FM Stereo Tuner/Amplifier exactly like the one I have. Now, I bought this one for parts actually. By that I mean, it takes a special connector to hook up the speakers and I don't know where I have put mine. I put this stuff away years ago and when I got the thing out, back when bucky kat started this up about the old stereo stuff. So, I saw this Pioneer SX440 on ebay and it had the connectors, while not priced badly either. The listing said it worked great and I bought it. After I got it home, I hooked it up to my speakers and it DOES work great! Then, I hooked my original tuner up and all I got was hummm on FM, while the AM side works great.
I have no idea what is wrong with my 1st one, but I NOW have the SOUND that I bought the system for, back in 1968. Now, I need to locate my DIN cord, so I can hook up the AKAI Recorder/Player to the setup. It's not an elaborate setup, but works for me.
Thanks ALL, Bill
