Wanted: cassette heads

[Pearsy]

I have a 2002. My tape deck runs fine, I just put new belts on but there is little to no sound coming out. I have to turn it right up to hear it, I was thinking it’s the heads?
any advice greatly appreciated

Heads defect?

99%= NO

Caps defect, quite normal.

Electrolyth and tantalum caps fail after this long time, that’s quite normal.

Bad tantals around the Dolby IC. I’ve seen that a couple of times.

The head is probably intact. Only Bogen heads on open reel Beocords and Uhers pose problems.

Do check capacitors around the Dolby circuit.
