Just a quick thread on the 1010. Some updates on identification, and sourcing spare parts.

First up, it's important to know which 1010 you have - bear in mind that - even if the serial no / label has been removed, there are other identifiers for marking yours out.

have a look at this: - shows the difference between to two models

obvious difference is the positions of the "Pause" and "Stop/Ej" buttons
but also on further inspection there are four differences in the layout/appearance inside the tape window

underside - charcoal label = model BPA7YJ1010 [hong kong]
underside - white label = model BPA99H1010 [japan]

One of the first things you'll need to replace are the drive belts.
