Beocord 5000 (4715/4716): Replacing the Belts
Hi. I´ve seen the belt replace movie now . Very interesting, it looks so complicated, but you make it look easy.
ReplyDeleteGot a Beocord 5000 . 4705 (3 heads) . The take up reel is to slow now , could be the belt.
Have done a similar job on my Tandberg TCD 330. But I will not try the B&O.
I just want to add some info: I thought my Beocord was dead but a friend of mine who worked at a Tandberg service for many years said that old tape-decks etc with belts should be kept cool and by all means used . Suddenly the take up reel works and it sounds great . I'll listen to my cassettes now in Easter time.
ReplyDeleteI agree...these units must be used! Enjoy your 5000!
ReplyDeleteHi Beolover how are you ??
ReplyDeleteI have a BeoMaster 1900 and I want to replace all the lamps by LEDs, but I read in foruns and blogs that may not be possible, because the original lamps are part of the capacitive circuit, and the leds couldn't work properly.
I believe that there should be an alternative to replace the lamps.
What is your expert opinion about it ??
Thank you. Paulo (Brazil)
Working on a beocorder 5000 and the belts were toast. Replaced them and it works but now it will play and then about 8 seconds in, it will just close the drawer. I can push play again (the outside play) and it will play about 8 seconds and stop. The power is still on, just stops playing.
ReplyDeleteHi, my pulley motor squeaks terribly, can it be fixed
