I got a Beocord 9000 and wanted to restore it as there are very useful tutorials here and all so from Beolover.
I got the belt kit from Martin and the rubber O rings. Thanks to Beolover's tutorial applying the parts was somewhat easy.
When that was done (no recap jet) I stated the unit up with a cassette in it. everything works fine exept the motor is working all the time when the device is out from standby.
Is there recap job to be done here? Or is there some other solution?
E.
It's normal for the motor to run at all times when not in standby.

Ok. That's nice news!
Thank you!

Hi,
after replacing the motor O rings and cleaning the cassette mechanism there is still one problem. When doing fast forward or fast backward, near the end when the cassette tape is gathered to one side the device stops and goes to standby. When I hold the FFW or FBW switch then it does work till all the tape is in one side.
It seams that the motor does not have enough power when the tape is almost on one side. Is this a cap problem? When playing the tape everything is fine. fault only present when doing FFW or FBW
Could be that the motor is running rough in old lubricants, thus trigging the overload circuitry.

Hm. I have seen Beolovers videos how he re-lubricates recordplayer motor beari ngs. Its very delicate work. Im not up to it. I think i will leave the motor as is. As the Beocord 9000 wil not be used a lot and performes well exept the end of FFW/FFB.
A partly seized tape reel spindle could also cause this.

Ok. I have to look into it. If its easier to take apart then i would try it.

There's a bit of way in there...
