Replacement gear for century 2000

[robert_glatzel]

Hey everyone.
The tape deck in my century 2000 stopped working the other day. I took it apart and found that some teeth on one of the gears had broken off. Seems that they are no longer catching the mechanism that turns the gears, hence the tape isn’t working correctly.

Question is, does anyone know where I might be able to find a replacement part for the yellow gear (the large one specifically)?

thanks!

Hi,

The two gears come as a set, I bought mine on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165045167629?hash=item266d75660d:g:ZG8AAOSwa1xfVNKC

They are high quality.  You can also look into the DCC Museum at: https://www.dccmuseum.com/service-spare-parts/

you have to become a member, I think I paid $36 to “join” to be able to buy spare parts like pinch rollers, the gears, belt.  The BS2000 used a Philips cassette that was used in a digital compact cassette machine (DCC) and some of the parts are still available from these guys.

If you just need the gear set, the eBay seller is the way to go.

Bill
