I recently bought a Beosystem 2500 with its BeoLab speakers from Ebay. Its from a trusted seller with good reviews and its been professionally refurbished according to the description.
At first glace, the sound system is in fantastic condition. It looks almost brand new and the sound is beautiful.
However, I did notice that the cassette deck plays my tapes fast. I did some comparisons and it plays about 10% faster. The CD player and the speakers are fine though. I decided to open the back panel to identify the motor.
Can anyone please confirm that this is the correct place to adjust the speed? (picture attached at the bottom)
I bought the ceramic flat screwdriver to avoid conductivity and also a calibration tape to stay on the safe side.
After assembling it back, I noticed that the door mechanism does not close as smoothly anymore.
When it opens and closes it makes a slightly louder sound than usual. It opens smoothly despite the sound but when it does close, it feels like there is a struggle. It is not consistent.
What do you think the issue may be? The mechanisms seems to operate at a normal speed without the glass doors being mounted but when there are mounted, I noticed the gears once I opened the panel again that there is a slight delay in getting the doors to close. The belts all look new to me.I would highly appreciate the advise.
