Idler Tires

Old devices are known to be built much better than the electronics of nowadays. They were designed for quality and reliability, so that they could be serviceable in the future. However, they contain some parts that do not last forever. These are usually rubber or plastic parts. Rubber  deteriorates faster than metal, plastic material changes it’s dimensions and becomes more fragile. After 20 or 30 years, you should replace them. Old manufacturers either do not exist, or they do not support these products anymore.  This is the right place where you can find idler tires for various cassette player models. Idler tires transfer torque movement power from one part of cassette to another. They can drive reels in PLAY, FF or REW modes.

We make idler tires according to the original specifications. We check and test every part before we list it here. They have the same dimensions ans original ones.

Examples of players that use idler tires:

• cassette decks
• boomboxes
• walkmans
• auto stereo
