I recently got a Beocenter 9000, Beovox CX100 and Beolink 1000. Beolink seems to work fine, just needs a clean CX100 need refoaming as they are totally perished Beocenter 9000 operates, but has a few problems
  • Damaged spring for the CD spindle
    • Anyone know how I could repair this?
  • Missing feet
    • Anyone know of a replacement?
  • CD door does not open
    • Motor runs
    • Door does not open more than half way using the manual screwdriver method
Whilst I have it apart, should I replace any components or capacitors? I have a Beomaster 2300 which I replaced the caps which improved it a lot. Here are the photos from the listing

Maybe have a look at this thread for some help with the doors - the BC9000 has the same system as the BC9500:

Whilst you have it apart I would replace the door motor drive belts, the backup battery and probably the tape deck belt(s).

EDIT:  CD spindle was discussed here: link

I opened the unit and spotted a CD spindle spring trapped beneath the CD player.
  I carefully removed the drive and the spring was intact along with the cap.  So I have a spare cap as well now :-)

Hi Paul - well done with the spring!

Was my earlier post of any value?

Hi Guy,

Yes it was,thank you.  I think my problem with the CD door is that the cord seems to have been lubed in the past which is causing it to wrap over Itself.

 

I upgraded my account to silver, but I can't find where the service manuals are on the site.  Any chance you could point me towards them please?

Yes that was the problem with mine. I did try to clean the cord but in the end I had to replace it with a new 'dry' one.

Got the manual, thanks.  Where did you get your cord from?

Luckily I had a door string repair kit that I purchased by chance many years ago - I show a picture of it (including the part number) in this post:  I doubt that you will find a repair kit now, but you could give

I cleaned the string with some waterbased degreaser in an ultrasonic bath, and it now works well.

I replaced the lithium battery, but I now need to replace the capacitor on the CD as it has some strange behaviour
