Beosound Ouverture Tape problem

4 replies

My Ouverture will not play tape, the seller i have buy it from says they not have uses the tape function in many years, the problem is if  i push play, rewind, forward than i i can only hear a "click" sound no movement in the cassette or any of the tape parts below the tape. 

 

Do any have a solution on how to fix it? So i can use the tape function.

 

Thanks

Dismantle, clean, replace belts, lubricate, reassemble.

Do you have the partnumber or a link to where i can buy the belts?

This guy in Germany has them on eBay usually but you may need to contact him for availability:

It is possible that member 'Dillen' has some belts - he is a great source of spare parts but I can't guarantee this belt.

B&O may still stock some in their repair centres but may no longer support the Ouverture due to its age.

YouTube has some video of Ouverture repair.  It's not for the faint hearted - the whole front has to be removed and the player dismantled.  You will need a service manual if you do it yourself or find an expert to do it for you.
