B&O Ouverture faulty tape deck in Melbourne Australia.

2 replies

My Ouverture tape deck has suddenly developed a malfunction. When I press PLAY the head rises but not all the way. The wheels do not engage with the capstan which is not turning and there is a low mechanical screeching sound from inside. (sounds like a slipping belt). Any ideas?

Worn belt. Very common.
I can supply a new correct belt.
PM or email me.
