I'm going to replace the ribbon cable on the front panel of the Beomaster and change all belts in Beocord and Beogram.

Nice boxes, I didn't like mine to begin with, but getting used to them, as you mentioned too new😂. Playing very good though, and use them everyday.

linkbelts and cleaning, clean all cable plugs and jacks properly. , belt and cleaning

Thanks, Søren and also thanks for the links. I'm going to disassemble Beocord right down to the bottom plate as you did, because the tray doesn't move without help. The motor runs, so it is not the problem.

When I press play, rewind or ff, the tape are spinning for a second and then shutting down. The solution would be more cleaning, new grease and new belts also here.

Previously I use a CD50 playing through BM 6000 2702 and I really enjoy the sound. It runs just as it was supposed to work, I think. The “new” CD50, however, does not work completely perfect in the tray, the same issue as Jacques had with his cd player. I did not remove and cleaned all the gear and therefore have homework to do. Martin might have the right belt although he doesn't advertise it on Bonanza?

I knew I had an MCL 82 somewhere and found it in a box together with the speaker connectors with 3 pins. It must of course be tested with the stack when it works! Remains to find the MCL-cable which is also to be found anywhere...

Couldn't resist these when they showed up on Blocket: Beogram CD 3300 which works brilliantly and Beocord 3300 which need new belts: the old ones has left us for a tuggummiliknande* state, perhaps before they are reborn as butterflies. Or not.
 
I am not sure what I think of the design. Has previously not enjoyed it but slowly reevaluating the gray color and the big font. I also notice the fine humps in touch controls. Mjo, maybe they can stay.

I don't think using chamois for the ABR's is a good idea. I think the chamois progressively will dry out and get as stiff as cardboard. I even think, that it's written on the container, that the chamois should be kept moist in it or a similar airtight container.

that is not true for me, as long as you use synthetic chammy leather cloth, it is perfect !

 

 

but you are right, do not use real leather chamois (yes it will eventually dry out and go brittle)

 

 

Just cant be thinking, what proofs that synthetic is any better and last without drying or falling apart? I mean, they did not know in 80's that foam will melt? Did they?

 

The chamois I have at home are synthetic! And it is written on the container, that it they should be kept moist in the container or a similar airtight container. So I don't think using chamois for the ABR's is a good idea - synthetic or not!

So, no permanent solution... Yet

I have the same opinion as Dennis, I have never seen the ABRs, but as I understand it, they was originally attached with foam and supposed to have a certain movement to reflect and increase the bass. I would try with double knit (if not double knit it only stretches in one direction) speaker fabric, attach it without stretching,  this will allow the ABRs to have some movement, the synthetic chamois does get very hard when dry, and when drying it also shrinks and this will give the ABRs less movement.

How about microfiber or viscose some type? I have seen these very leatherlike.

I have now 2 ABRs, but in parts, so I have no idea how much there should be play on them.
