Product Features:
In today’s digital music world, the Aiwa HS-J70 Walkman might seem like an oddity, but for many, it’s still the preferred way to listen to music. The sound quality is superb, and the portability is unmatched. However, one of the problems with the HS-J70 is that the drive belts inevitably wear out over time. This can cause the tape to slip, or even stop playing altogether.
If you’re experiencing these problems, don’t despair! Replacing the belt is a relatively simple process, and it can be done in just a few minutes. With the right tools and materials, you can get your HS-J70 up and running again in no time.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– A new drive belt for the Aiwa HS-J70
– A small screwdriver
– A pair of tweezers
Here’s how to do it:
- Remove the battery cover. The battery cover is located on the back of the HS-J70. Use your screwdriver to remove the screw that holds the cover in place, then lift the cover off.
- Remove the batteries. Once the battery cover is removed, you’ll see the two AA batteries that power the HS-J70. Remove the batteries and set them aside.
- Remove the four screws that hold the back panel in place. The four screws are located around the perimeter of the back panel. Use your screwdriver to remove the screws, then lift the back panel off.
- Locate the drive belt. The drive belt is a thin, rubber band that runs around the flywheel and the capstan. It’s what causes the tape to move when you press the play button.
- Remove the old drive belt. Use your tweezers to carefully remove the old drive belt from the flywheel and the capstan.
- Install the new drive belt. Take the new drive belt and place it around the flywheel and the capstan. Make sure that the belt is tight, but not too tight. You should be able to move the belt around with your fingers, but it shouldn’t be loose.
- Reassemble the HS-J70. Replace the back panel and the four screws. Then, replace the batteries and the battery cover.
Your Aiwa HS-J70 should now be up and running again!
