Martin, would do you use for lubricate for motor? For the idler wheels I assume it's lithium grease being used.

I have just completed the work on my Beocord 7000. Replaced all th belts and gave it a good clean. Thee one problem i have is when I replace th top securely the control buttons are catching the top on it's way out and in. There is no way to adjust the hieght so I don't know why this is happening. I like you was very grateful for the tutorial. Now going to try and make some stands for my B & O RL140 speakers.

Check that the button panel sits correcty in the groove at the inside top of the front panel.

Thanks for that, That was part of the problem, also the ribbon cable is hard and pressing up on the control board. I am frightened to force it too much, also but looking closely the front panel is slightly curved as is the top. I think it has been stored badly. I bought the whole 7000 system off someone who didn't really care about it. The Beocord had ordinary elastic band around the pulleys, there are only two of the red clips that hold the board down and for some reason all the pulleys were covered in this hard white stuff which took me ages to clean. He also removed all the rubber feet for some reason or the other. Anyway, it is all working great now, Thanks again for your help. I have sent off the cartridge for the Beogram to be repaired and when that arrives it's complete.

The white stuff is most likely some kind of "rubber rejuvenator" or other miracle-spray-on-and-it-will-fix-all-your-problems agent.
Functionality is usually doubtful and always short-lived, but it's safe to say that most of this stuff leaves a mess beyond description.

New rubber feet, belts, drawer tires etc. can be found in Beoparts-shop.

Thanks for that, Every bit of information is helpful. It's all a learning curve with this gear.
