  • Yes, it's an Omnibot.
    Apparently, rubber bands do not make good replacement cassette deck belts.
    2021 update: i have replaced the belt since recording this video
    -the belt has been replaced since july of 2018
    -the belt is no longer a rubber band and is a belt specifically designed for the tomy omnibot 5402
    -the cassette player is no longer dead

    Never ever ever use rubber bands to repair a VCR, cassette deck, w/e. They are too elastic and not solid. Get proper drive belts (you have to determine if they are flat or square) and repair it properly. Also make sure the pinch rollers, capstans are replaced as well, and the mechanisms are greased where appropriate.

      When you don't have a choice you gotta make do. I got an 8 track player and no belt so I got a rubber band that roughly fits and I'm letting the player take all the tension off of it

      @@yaboidustin2447 You do have a choice. Buying the proper belt or taking it to a repair shop that can. As I said - never use rubber bands. They are not the same material or tension as a real belt and they stretch out - you do not want that. The belt slips and it throws the mechanisms out of sync or gears go beyond their tolerances and strip out. It's very dangerous.

    That’s not dying, it merely needs a new belt. That or it just just be a simple as the device is not getting constant power ofc.

      @fatmeatball  Před 2 lety +3

      Yea, I replaced the belts long ago. I think something's still wrong with the gears but I don't really have the motivation to fix it since I don't actually use the cassette player on this.

    • @jonathannocon
      @jonathannocon Před 2 lety +2

      Oic... cracked/slipping gear(s) could also do that. It could be as simple as a superglue here and there and some patience ofc but if your not inclined to fixing it, the real cause will remain a secret.
      You kinda unintentionally triggered me and the many others out here that gets irked at seeing something not function as intended tho LoL
      If I were in your shoes, I’d get little to no sleep until I sort that monkey out of my back. My OCD be doing me dirty at things like this I’m afraid.
      So if you can excuse me, I’ll go watch someone tinker and fix something rn...✌🏼

      Find the model of your cassette player and order a new belt for that model. If the gears are still loud afterward then there's probably something else damaged as well.

    • @fatmeatball
      @fatmeatball  Před 2 lety

      This is the internal cassette deck in an Omnibot 5402, a robot made by Tomy in 1984, the idea was you could program it (on tape) to move around in a certain path and carry things around and/or say things at a certain time(s) of the day.
      Right now it's definitely not in the condition to handle a program but I don't have much motivation to fix it at the moment

    CZcams puts this in your recommended? Did you recently buy a tape deck? Did you try to fix it with rubber bands? I probably dont think so. Ill ask again, was this in your youtube recommendation?? If yes, ill tell you something eerie. I bought a tape deck (even posted a video of it) and i used a rubberband as a belt for the 'Memory Counter' not the take up wheel and not the playback because those belts were fine. This content is relatable to me so its alright but why you? ...
