In this video I'll walk you through the basics of replacing the belts in a Tascam Porta02 MKii. This is a very common problem with the Tascam Porta series and a simple fix. The hardest part is finding a place to purchase the belts. I'll also perform a quick test/ jam with an endless loop cassette. The next video will be of how to make 5 and 10 second endless loop cassettes. The Tascam Porta02 is a lovely little 4 track recorder that is coming back in fashion and being used with endless loop tapes for ambient and experimental music.
