Has anybody an idea how the compatability is between the Beocord 6500 tape deck and the one of a Beocenter 9000 and/or 9500? Is it possible to exchange them?

Regards, Noah.

Anyone?😕

Hi Noah,

Excuses me for the late reply.

The 6500 are 2 type of mechanism deck: with two motors (first version) and one motor (last version).

First, see your 6500 if 1 or 2 motors (if 2 motors, one is up and other is back). If one motor, the deck looks like this image (sorry, i'm not a great artiste)

The Beocenter 9000 is a version with 2 motors, the cables and plugs is not same for Beocord 6500. But the head is same.

I do not know for BeoCenter 9500, I have not the technical documentation. But the same rotary head is used and

I think if the versions are the same like your 6500 (one or two motors), it should go, except perhaps fixing problems and cable/plug lenght.

Hey Yoyo

Thank you for your drawing. I could not do it better!😁

The Cord 6500 with the faulty head is a later version I think. So you guess the 9500 tape deck could be compatible with a 6500? Can you imagine that they made different decks for the models they produced back then?

Could be worth to try it...

Best regards, Noah.
