Saw a few posts about Omnibots here, joined the site hoping for some help.
Just put a battery in my old Omnibot... has been on a shelf since the late '80s. Turned it on, went to test the tape deck and the motor turns without a tape, but with a tape it doesn't. I suspect a slipping belt issue.
Anyone know what belt I need for the deck on this?
Thanks
Try 83mm dia x1.2mm
Go EZ-Robot! And ditch the deck!
Tape deck wise... not dead, total comeback, audiophiles are going nuts for cassettes now... kinda like when records were all the rage because they sounded 'warmer'... I dunno... my MP3 player can hold like 5,000 songs and doesn't eat up batteries, so it wins.
Though I doubt the Omnibot's tape deck would be a high end player.
Just cleaning up stuff I've had around in storage for 30yrs, time to sell most of it off and put the money towards my current hobbies.
