Description
Some models of Sony DAT decks have little plastic circlips to secure the loading mechanism gears. Over time these clips can either break or go missing, but aren't available new any more. Here's a model that worked for me as a replacement.
These are probably best printed via SLA, but I've had good luck with an FDM printer on its highest quality/resolution setting. In the photos, the green clip is this model while the white one is the original so you can see the differences.
I'm not sure what models of DAT deck this clip will work on, but for sure the DTC-690 is one of them. If this works for you in a different model, be sure to leave a comment!
