JVC VCR belts

[Tom Del Rosso]

Who sells a belt/tire kit is for a JVC hr-vp830u?

I find a few belts that x-ref to it, but maybe not all of them, and no
wheels or tires.

Thanks.

Have you tried JVC Service Dept?

At http://www.jvcservice.com/store/ they sell remotes and cables and such.
I didn't try calling them though.

MCM has some belts, but I think a rubber idler wheel might be the problem.
I thought there would be a kit with the whole set.

A long time ago there used to be an outfit called PRB - they carried
all sorts of replacement belts and pulleys...but I think I remember
seeing a post here that they were bought out by another company.
Sorry, I can't remember the name.

Also, at the risk of stating the obvious, have you tried rubber
cleaner/reconditioner fluid?

Never heard of it actually. Thanks. Google finds rubber stamp cleaner
(maybe the same?) and a guy who recommends GoJo hand cleaner. Do you know
another product?

I have some stuff called Rubber Renew, it works pretty well.

Don't waste time with 'rubber repairers'. if the rubber is on its way
out, you're just putting off the inevitable. for a reliable fix
replace the parts.

Molgar have them, as do (i think) SEME and CHS

That depends on what is wrong with the rubber. If it is glazed, you
can clean it and continue to use it. If it is cracked or crazed, it
needs replaced. I recently paid $7 for a quart of deglazer at a local
printshop to clean the rollers on some printers, since I can't find new
rubber.

fair point - I have successfully resurfaced rubber idler tyres and
rollers, ( in vcrs, printers etc) often by just giving 'em a once-over
with fine sandpaper or an emery board. On more serious cases , on
especially hard-to-find parts (like idler drive 1960s record players)
putting the part in a lathe to rotate it 'evenly' as you 'sand' it is
a good way.

Anyway i digress - since we're talking belts here, I have found these
to be far less likely to respond well over the long term to
'rejuvenation' - best to replace, they're generally far cheaper than
idlers anyway

Automotive brake fluid is a good rubber cleaner/conditioner.
Wipe on, wait a day, rinse off excess.

Aged rubber will oxidize and crack, the conditioner won't always
bring it back.
