I am new to this forum but I do feel the need to seek fellow membersโ help on the auto reverse function of my newly purchased second hand Beocord 7000.
I bought it from Wallapop in Spain, which was supposedly in good functional condition. ย However, when it finally arrived in HK where I live, the exterior was full of decade-old dust and the three belts inside had melted in need of replacement. ย After replacing them with parts from Danish Sound, the tape transport could hardly rewind at all. ย Upon investigation, I found that the magnet gear on the left could hardly move possibly due to natural expansion of the black plastic base it sits on overtime. ย After twisting and turning the magnet gear a few times, it now runs very smoothly and the machine can play side B really well.
What is left now is to fix the auto reverse function, as the Beocord fails to play side A despite me pressing the โturnโ button (which will stop playing side B but resume when the same button is pressed again). ย I am puzzled what I have done wrongly in the reassembly process. ย Could someone tell me what I need to check in order to find the solution? ย BTW, I have found the spring in the photo not knowing where it should go as it is not in the service manual. ย Could this be the cause of the malfunction?
Many thanks to you all.
