Japanese electronics ... ๐Ÿคฏ The built-in cassette recorder ... the "Data Recorder" ... doesn't work so assuming it's a broken belt. But it is not easy to get into. A lot of boards & tiny screws to remove, and also wires to de-solder.

00:00 ... Start
02:01 ... FA-11 docking station battery
04:45 ... Starting further disassembly
07:10 ... Data Recorder mechanism
09:05 ... Wiring de-soldered ... mechanism is finally freed
11:00 ... More disassembly
15:00 ... Where should the loose belt go?
18:30 ... Freeing the loose belt
21:28 ... Channel outro/thanks

The belt doesn't seem to fit how I think it should go so maybe I need to get a slightly smaller belt ... or, you know, RTFM ... if there is a relevant Service Manual available.

So no point going further until I've figured out what belt is needed, and then actually securing the belt.

Replacing the 6V internal battery of the FA-11 should also be done ... appears to be five 1.2V C-size cells in an L-shape. The battery is a National (now Panasonic) model P-17N-5A28 with 1650mAh capacity (330mAh per cell).
