Worn belts. Depending on the version of tapedeck used in your Beocord I may have a new set in stock.

Hi, Dillen.

Thank you.  Please give me a day or two to look up the serial number and type number.  I will then send you a PM.

Again, thanks.

That won't do any good, I'm afraid.

I am not at home at the moment, I will PM you details to look for as soon as possible, which probably means thursday.

Hi Martin,

 I just aquired a Beosystem 7000 that was supposed to be in perfect condition. (demo unit from a shop)

Everything is fine except for the Beocord. In one direction it's fine, when I chnage the play direction the sound is OK but there is a clicking noise coming from the deck.

Do you have any ideas as to what this could be?

There are some tiny brake arms that grips into teeth at the circumference of the reels base.
If one gets too close it will "ride" on the top of the teeth, producing a clicking sound.
It will eventually grip into a tooth and block the tape travel.
You need to dismount the deck and take it apart to see what I mean.

Hi Martin,

I have similar problem - I purchased a Beosystem 7000 on the e-bay.

On last Monday, when I picked up personally the system from the seller the Beocord 7000 was working fine.

At home it was able to play in any direction and rewind only for one-two seconds and then stops automatically. Fast forward works eventually.

Could it be a belt problem or something else ? Maybe something could happened during the travel? I carried it as hand luggage and of course with the four plastic fixation screws. Thanks in advance !

It could be the above mentioned brakes and it could be the belts.
It could also be other things, it's always hard to diagnose without hands-on.

Thanks for the prompt reply ! Today afternoon I will check the brakes & belts and give feedback.
