Beocentre 2500 tape mechanism repair

[Troy74]

hi i have a late 80’s Beosystem 2500 – the tape mechanism suddenly stopped working – after new belts were fitted I noticed this spring was loose for the head mechanism – does anyone know how it attaches ?
Thanks

Hi

I’m not shure but maybe into the gap on the toothed levelarm above the last theeth and then a little right.

Wow! Guys thanks so much that diagram is priceless!

It’s hard to know how to set the lever arm into the head’s cog ?‍♂️

As the head can spin 180 degrees does anyone know what position it should be in default ? if I look directly at the tape player from the front with the head at the bottom is the default position all the way to left or right position ?

thanks

There is not one fixed position… there are 2 !

It’s an “either or” position. The spring shall fix it in side 1 or side 2.

It’s an over the peak snap construction.

Just snap it in the gap next to the teeth…

This does look right

I understand there may no fixed position but I need to know how to mount the white plastic leaver and n relation to the head position

The gear does only the movement, the head has it’s own justage … see the red stuff? This is for the head position.

The gear should only be in something symmetrical end position when switching side 1 – 2

I think there is one tooth wrong… just 1 tooth in endposition looks a little bit weak overlap… how does ist look in the other position? 3 Teeth?
