Hello everyone,
I'm new to bang and olufsen, as well as to the forums. I've went already through some topics and people here really seam nice and willing to help.
I acquired recently B&O Beogram 3000 type 5228, and have almost the same problem as asked here:

anyways, the solution was to move a bit the wheel spinning the cable towards the front of the deck using a finger. now all the speeds work great. amazing piece of equipment.
thanks to everyone!
Just a quickie, as all these decks suffer so - make sure the bracket holding the idler assembly is free to move back and forth. B&O used a particular grease that turned into vaseline very quickly (ten years or less) and then siezed altogether. Somehow, you'll have to free this pivot off so that the belt alone pulls it into position. I was able to do this on mine while keeping the idler clean and it now works just fine.
By the way and regarding comments on the other thread too. Even when new, the belt always came off if fitted and the platter spun without the top platter in place.

Ditto on my Beocenter 3500. Seems normal because the subplatter belt groove finds itself not aligned with the pulley so the belt stupidly slips down !
