slowing down when playing

The Akai X-2000SD is playing slowly because it is missing the pitch sleeve. If the tapes were recorded at 7.5 IPS, the sleeve is needed to achieve the correct speed.

what is happening is that the main belt needs replace due to it is all but stretched out . Only a shop can replace this belt . It's a common for 50 plus year old Akai decks to have belt stretch. I've replaced tons of belts on Akai decks. .

@Mr. Anderson - the speed sleeve is on there .. his problem is the speed is slowing down during play .. which is caused by a belt that is all stretched out and needs replacing.
Need help?
