Sounds like it needs new belts. Very common problem. Martin (Dillen on site) can supply new ones.

Can I squeeze in here and ask how much these are worth when fully working?

That depends on the market, but just around 60-90£ is my guess.

A little mean I think. The 9000 is relatively rare and is a very complex tape recorder with excellent performance. I would suggest that a perfect one could easily reach £150 and more if boxed. Extra value adding accessories would include the azimuth aligning tape and tape head cleaning set as well as the original manuals.

The reason I ask is because I was quite surprised when a non working example went for just over £100 on ebay yesterday! This included some minor scratches to the metal keypad too! There were other items by the same seller that went for a surprising amount considering the condition too. Only good deal was the CDX2 IMO which went for about £40 if I remember correctly!

@Soren I think I am moving to your country... B&O plentifully distributed round the local tips (😕) and under-valued cassette decks / record players a-plenty 😐

Hehe, I just bought a 9000 in working order, can replay but not record for 5£, and a fully restored 9000 for 50£ 😁

There are bargains to be had. A friend bought a working Beogram 4000 with good MMC20CL for £20. But not on eBay!

Wow... that is a bargain...

I once was given a partially working Beomaster 6000 4 channel with a 40£ working Beogram 4002 with a almost unused MMC20E 😎

Oh shut up!
