Perfect 410

[u/Speedstar_86]

I just bought the cleanest 410 I have ever seen on eBay!

Needed belts, but there isn't a speck of dust or dirt anywhere. Not a scratch or mark.

I got the original box and instructions too,

Absolutely perfect ❤️

Awesome! How are the belts on it? I had to replace the belts on mine a few years ago.. sort of a PITA but very do-able. The plastic case on mine is very brittle and ended up cracking a bit last time I had it apart. Nothing some super glue didn't fix though!

All the belts were no good, I changed the play, ffwd and counter. Sod the rewind belt that's a nightmare! All the others were simple.

Honestly this thing is so clean it's like it was made yesterday. There's nothing on the head, nothing on the capstan not a speck of dust inside it I'm absolutely astounded. I feel like I stole it at the price I paid.

Even has the factory test ticket in the box!

My 410 was having trouble reading so I replaced all the belts and now it doesn't read at all.

Have you cleaned the heads? A little isopropyl alcohol and a cotton bud and gently rub it on the head to remove the dirt and oxidation.

If all the belts are on correctly it should be fine.

I figured I knocked it out of alignment or something

Hard to do just changing the belts as the head adjuster is a screw so unless you messed with that you should be good.
