It needs replacement because it will slip one time while you're trying to UNload a valuable DAT, and the tape will chew because it didn't get wound back into the shell before it was ejected. you'll see that it doesn't sit "circular". Okay, I won't scan the page, but I do have the part number for you (see later). 'grab', and the larger pulley doesn't turn as it should. Then it gets a little bit loose.When eventually you try and load a tape, the small pulley spins, but the belt doesn't want to what happens if these machines sit unused for a period is that the belt gets "used" to being in one position, and takes on that sort of "egg-shape". It'll save putting two orders in, after all.

I can check when I get home (it's where my service manual is) and I'll go in on an order with you if you're ordering from them. Seriously, if you need part numbers etc. I NEVER seem to be able to have any around when I need them in a hurry! Put some sort of friendly note in there for the next time the new owner of the machine needs to replace the belt. then take the spare, and place it in a baggie and tape the baggie up inside the lid of the DA-30MkII. Buy more than one replacement (they're only a buck or two) and put a new one on. Looking at the bottom of the transport, there's a small, -no, make that tiny- black rubber drive belt which goed from a very small pulley to a rather larger pulley directly next to it. I think there's a long 'transport load spring' also.) then turn the transport over. Open the tray, power down the unit, remove the top cover, remove the transport (4 screws and a few conectors.

Yes I have the manual, but it's easier to tell you what to do:
