DRIVE BELT FOR BOSE WAVE CD PLAYER AND CLANSMAN MILITARY RADIO

John Peckham

I have a Bose Wave CD player and combined radio. The CD player is erratic. It sucks the CD in with a bit of a struggle and then the CD plays with difficulty. I striped it down and cleaned everything but my fault diagnoses is the tiny rubber drive belt is stretched and soggy. I am looking for a replacement but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone on the forum know of a source of supply?

Whilst I am on a roll something even more diverse. I am looking for a Clansman radio 7 pin audio socket. I want to make an adapter lead up to use a Clansman headset on my Yaesu FT 857 amateur radio transceiver.

Thanks in anticipation.

    I saw that 2 pin socket when I was searching. The RS one is the one I want but not at that price. I may wait for an Amateur radio rally and buy a scrap Clansman personal radio and rob the socket off of it.

    Nice to see your reply as I have not seen you on here for ages.

    eBay sells packs of various sized rubber belts for old cassette recorders. Maybe one of will work. O rings may be too stiff. I have bought various packs very cheaply.

    The problem with boxes of O rings is that whilst you have plenty to choose from, none of them is the correct size. Rolling eyes

    "Your pack will contain an assorted mix of belts ranging between 25mm & 135mm internal diameter."

    so likely all too large for John's pencil sized requirement.

    That is just one example of what is available for cassette recorder repairs. There will be may other sizes available. The belts are suitable for pulley drives unlike O rings, which will be too stiff in my opinion.
