Hello to all Members,

Just want to introduce myself. My Name is Fred. I would like to make the following statement. I was one of the first to join this group when it was new. I did NOT join to sell my Products. This is my First Post.

Some of you know me from eBay. I sell Cassette Belt Kits, R to R machines, Turntables or Belts for most anything. I started my Belt research a little over 5 years ago and decided to focus on Nakamichi, although I sell kits for most any Brand or Model.

My belts are manufactured in Japan. I chose this manufacturer because they do not sell to the public, only to the Cassette Deck and Turntable manufacturers, which in my opinion, assures Higher Quality.
I received many request for a Capstan Belt for Nakamichi that worked, especially for the Classic Transport. I purchased belts from every manufacturer I could find in the United States, but was not successful. It simply did not exist.

I decided to have the exact Nakamichi OCO 8096C copied. When I approched the Factory in Japan, I was informed they actually held a Contract with Nakamichi, and supplied all of their Belts ! They had actually made the OCO 8096C FOR Nakamich! Needless to say, I was excited. I now use their belts 100 % . My 8096C is the 8096-D2, and is an EXACT duplication. The D-2 goes through all of the same manufacturing processes and testing proceedures as the 8096C that was supplied to Nakamichi.

My belts are higher in price. I have Freight Costs from Japan to contend with. I purchase all belts in bulk and make the kits by hand. I Guarantee my Belts to be the Highest Quality available, from ANY source. Every Belt I sell has a 100% satisfaction Guarantee.

All other Belts currently being sold in the USA are manufactured in China. There is no longer a manufacturer of drive belts in the United States. You can buy from American Companies, but the product is manufactured in China.

If I can help members with any Belt problems, I would love to have the opportunity and your Business would be Greatly appreciated! Thanks! Fred

Well thanks for finally stepping forward and introducing yourself. Your expertise will be very welcome here as many users have or are interested in having Nak decks.

And the option to list items/services for sale is just an added bonus and benefit to being here.

Welcome aboard!

Thank you Des. I intended to do this a long time ago but held off because I did not want the members to get the wrong idea. Fred

Fred! You made it! I just ordered that Nak 482 belt kit from you off eBay with the upgrade belt. Not many Alaska guys to confuse the issue. Am so glad you stopped in and even gladder you posted an intro.

For anyone unfamiliar with Fred Marrs and Marrs Communications, just follow NakTalk for awhile. Highly recommended.

Glad you're here!

Jim

Welcome

Uhhh, it would be nice if you posted "how to change the belt" instructions on every cassette deck and reel to reel ever made with pictures. *fit*

Just kidding!

Hi Fred, Welcome. Didn't know you were about here. I just brought a belt kit from you for my Pioneer CT-F1250 via Ebay.

Fred - It would be great if Marrs Communication became a sponsor here, with a link for members to head directly your way looking for belt kits. I prowled around your website but didn't see a comprehensive list of kits available for what tape decks. Jim

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome. It is nice to be here. Links would be a full time job. I currently have about 50 Listings on eBay. I am just a 1 man show, and something always needs to be re-posted. I do have a eBay Store, although I believe the separate listings get much more exposure. Thanks again everyone. Fred

Welcome Fred,
I have your belt kit for my Tandberg and the quality looks great. I haven't used them yet. I bought them for backup. Glad to have you on this great site.
