I see this post says you need your famicom disc system repaired...

Have you already attempted to fix it?  Has it been taken apart....?

I just replaced my busted belt in a matter of 45 minutes or so.  My FDS works like new...

You send me your system and pay the $9.80 it costs to purchase the belt from ebay.  I will buy the belt from the same guy I bought it from.  I can replace the belt for you with no problem...

I can not and will not guarantee that fixes your machine.
I can not guarantee your item is not damaged in the mail.
I can not guarantee your famicom will work after just replacing the belt.

I have not seen your system, but I would be willing to help you with replacing the belt. 
Free of charge +$9.80 for the belt and applicable shipping charges..

you attempted to fix it and you are stuck...It is in pieces>?  What is the current status,...maybe I can assist you in fixing it via  skype or pictures through email?

You post some pics here...if its jsut the belt, then it can be fixed, but if you are trying to mod it or have moved around the reading laser,.....you may have a paperweight...

Flip your system over and remove the 6 screws...(2 in the middle top and bottom and the four corners...)

Did you put the spindle back in right and the spindle head back onto the correct spot?

make sure when putting it back together...the belt is to the left and right of the top left metal post...

if you put the top metal part back in place the plastic gear should go under the post that is there already....

go  here for a step by step tutorial on how to put the gear and the band in the right place...
