Panasonic VCR belt sizes?
 

I have a nvhs860 model and the belt is old so looking for a replacement, I couldn't find a sizing guide anywhere for belts?

Wagner suggests a 66mm (diameter), 2mm width would be a fit:

same with this australian site:

Dönbarg redirects to 69mmx2mm square for the part number (which is the as used by 2000s LG, Samsung, Daewoo and probably other brands too):
https://www.donberg.ie/catalogue/vdv0382.html

Not sure which is correct.

The text on the donberg site, and the text on an official replacement part bag in this blog post about fixing a related japanese model with the z mech says "3mm" rather than 2 so maybe these sites just list the closest available (which may be fine.)

The same mech is used in a lot of cheaper models though, including NV-FJ, NV-SJ model plus the newer NV-SD and NV-HD models, and other panasonics from the late 90s to early 2000s so that may also be an option.

Thanks I was struggling to find any accurate information.

Everything I was finding was contradictory, some measure circumference and some measure diameter and rarely state which is which so you might think you have found a belt by diameter and it could be the circumference.

I'll take a closer look, thanks again Hodgey!

I'm completely confused about what size this belt(VDV0382) should be....
