There!
Eddie (Valve1) and his lovely wife were here this morning with a beautiful gift (not really 😎) from Denmark, an unrestored Beocord 2400. Something to keep me (and Søren I guess, do you mind?) busy for the next few weeks.
Thanks again Eddie for your service, that was really nice! It was really nice talking to you too, although you did most of the talking!
Stay tuned...
Really nice.
I am getting to my BC2400 within a week or maximum two.

Thats good news Jacques, congrats, cant wait for the first report and pics

No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't fiand any pictures of the BC2400 mechanics.
I did find link though!
First picture. A bit (2 hours) of cleaning. The capstan wheel is completely shot, it is hard and dented. To the bin.
The right brake lever has lost its cork. This will be an easy fix, I've got cork sheets somewhere in the dungeons (this is a martinism 😎).
That rubber debris are horrible: no problem on alu, but on steel it is bad news, oxydizing it badly.
Not powered yet, but Frede did it and it went well, so no worries here I guess.
The counter belt seems fine.
I am a little busy today, will open up mine again tomorrow, and go along with you.

Good! Looking forward to that Søren!
Good luck to you both. My BC2400 is out in the garage and gets used at least weekly. It's a solid piece of equipment. Hard to believe, but it retailed for $500 US in the 70's. Not so hard to believe is that it was fairly well regarded by some magazines I've seen on Tapeheads.net.
Delighted to be to be able to Beoassist and meet you both.
You have a stunning collection of restored classics.
We traveled through some great looking villages in your area after. Have it chalked in for some cycling in the future.
Got to our place and was lucky enough to get the only parking spot in the village. Total distance was 4050k.... beer time now
Looking forward to your restoration !
My B&O Icons:
I found a broken spring and one at the bottom of the deck. I will have to figure out what these are for. More dismantling tomorrow!
Here's the back of the Beocord. I had to buy this special screwdriver (nutdriver?) to access the four nuts.
JUST BEAUTIFUL
Here you see one of the two connectors that allow the command panel and the electronics to be removed.
You do have to lift the amplifier pcbs to have access to two of the three screws (shown in the service manual, screws n° 54 p 79).
The broken-and-found-wandering-inside-the-box springs...
The home-made replacement.You can see the heads, well-worn. This recorder was actually used and maintained, I certainly wasn't the first to get inside (fingerprints at several places, screwheads).
