On the Tascam forum a couple of us are asking where to buy new belts for our Tascam 246 PortaStudio's. I want spares, but the other guy is dead in the water. Please help.........

The Tascam 246 Service Manual says:

Part No. 5800275300 - BELT, CONTROL
Part No. 5800275200 - BELT, CAPSTAN

Where can we find them?

F.Y.I.

Capstan Belts for Tascam 246 PortaStudio have been backordered by California since April 2009 (4 months). No delivery date available.

I call them about every 2-3 weeks. Every call..... same song.
(Canada gets supplied by California, theoretically.)
