Most Hitachi decks made for RCA were quite durable, save for the belt kit. For RCA-badged Hitachis, there was one popular kit, and your VCR uses it..
Russell Industries' PRB Line has a belt kit, part number: VKT160 (consists of SCB2.5 Load Belt FRZ11.0 Capstan Belt, SCA3.2 Load belt, SCA13.6 Reel Belt and SCQ5.3 (uses 2)
and the idler is VA40 - just the tire, ST1.014
Shop around for the kit and/or the separate belts. Prices vary widely. I used to get kits from MAT Electronics, but they now only do separate belts. For the record, in 1989, the belt kit was $5.05 from RCA........I replaced dozens.......
Replacement of the belts is pretty much straightforward - and we are here to help......
