Thanks guys. I just had a second go and turned the big wheel to have the tapehead going away from the tape. Going beyond the natural limit gave the good result.

I am now playing a Tape, both directions and fast forward works !

Not so sure about Auto-Reverse for now, but different Problem for a different day.

The belt is from EBay, coming from Portugal. Makes a good impression.

Oh... I had a feeling. Don't ask why...

Oh my.

Dear all,

Following Problem:

I remove the old belt from the tape and set an new one, now i have some problems with the function of Play and winding / rewind.

After changing the belt it is now not possible to play music...

The head is after 5 sec. turning to the other direction and stop the play-function.

Thanks! I just used your instructions to remove the tape deck of my BS2500, worked out well.

Excellent tutorial. Saved me a lot of time to read this before starting.

Here is how the belt should run between the wheels. The blue dot is the wheel on the motor.

I created a tool, kind of a hook, from a paper clip to get the belt onto the wheel on the motor. That step requires some patience.
