No need to remove the head-block, but didn't the belts come with mounting instructions?
If not, I suggest you ask the seller for help.
It's not the easiest machine to work on.

BTW, Dillen, have you belt set for this?

Yes, I have belt sets for Beocord 1200 and 1600.
And I can include mounting instructions (photos and english text).

I can warmly recommend Dillesn belt kit to this machine
The intructions that comes with the belts is propbably the best I have ever seen.
And it is written with in such nice way, even with tips about how to deal with the patience.

Please, you followers of this thread,watch also the thread "Beocord 1200 Reel to Reel Mexico" ( it looks like two threads are intertwining) to refer to a problem pertaining to changing bellts and removal of the tiny locking rings as indicated in Dillen's instruction paper.

Hello Martin:

I'm new to this forum. found this thread via searching and per reference from another forum.

I have a Beocord 1200 (Serie 04, No 43332)  which needs 3 new belts.

Do you still have belts for the 1200?

Some images from my Beocord:

The belts:

It has only one belt to capstan

The Beocord is in nice condition, electronic seems to work as far as I could test without tape.
