CM5804 Cassette Repair?

[TaylorGoesFast]

Hello all, I'd like to keep my stock head unit in my car. The current one I have seems to be damaged internally as the speaker outputted to the left is really weak. (If I swap the wires, the right side becomes weak, which rules out everything but the radio itself). I'm looking to find a replacement radio and I assume any radio I pick up will have old/brittle bands that drive the cassette deck reels. Has anyone refurbished one of these?

Thanks!

Yup I've done multiple. With some models it is real easy to get to the belt or belts, with some it can be a real pain in the butt. Usually you can't order belts on part/model number anymore but most electronics parts shops can supply decent replacements.
