To install a belt replacement for the Akai M-9:
1. Disassemble the mechanical block to access the belts. 2. The unit has two belts: a small one for the tape counter and a larger main belt on the flywheel. 3. Remove the flywheel by loosening the set screws and adjusting the pressure arms using the nuts. 4. Note the ball bearing in the flywheel shaft, which can be oiled. 5. After removing the old belts, place the new belts in the same positions—small belt on the tape counter pulley and large belt around the flywheel and motor pulley. 6. Reinstall the flywheel and secure it with the set screws. 7. Adjust the arms to ensure proper alignment and tension.
