Hello Martin,

I own a Bang and Olufsen Beocord 9000 audio cassette deck which does not play, fast forward, rewind tape.

This Beocord 9000 which I bought in 1985 is in excellent condition. Was fully functional but not used for past 6-7 years or so. Wanted to use it again recently but although it powered up OK, display lights, indicators such as tape type, calibration light, levels, etc. worked properly, when pressing "play" it starts but then stops with few centimeters of tape out of the cassette case. Does not FF nor Rewind. I suspect belts are the problem and would need replacement, what do you think? Am not much of a tech person but just love that machine and have extensive collection of tapes I still would like to continue to enjoy. I could not find anyone in the US who would not ask for my first born as payment... I guess I would have to try and do it myself. Are belts available, what would they cost and would you be kind to supply them? I would appreciate your assistance. Best.

There may be other things in need of attention but fresh belts would be the place to start.
You have a PM.

Martin

Tks for your quick answer. Forgive my ignorance: what do you mean by PM? Can you supply the belts and if so, wd you accept payements via PayPal?

Yes and yes.

Hi Dillen, I have a Beocord 4004 that needs a belt I think. It is slipping badly and will not rewind tapes any more. Can you help?

Regards Andrew

Yes thanks Martin for sharing  your time and knowledge as well as supplying the odd part when we need it.

I think I need belts for my second Beocord 5000 4715... Will order soon! No PM needed!

Cheers!

Andrew,

If we can agree that this is a Beocord 8004 (rather than 4004, which doesn't exist), I can supply a set of belts and
mounting instructions if needed.
You have email.

Thanks, Jacques. 🙂

It has to be said that Beoworld would be a much poorer place without Martin. He has so much knowledge and is always happy to help. He is also a really great guy and I am proud to call him a friend.

So, is Beoworld now a poorer place?

Martin has not posted for a month, and his avatar has gone.

I was only thinking that the other week Chris, It's very unusual for Moxxey not to post. I do hope that he's OK, maybe he's discovered the outdoor world or something nice!
