Thanks everyone for all the advice on this. I had considered the 3300 but it would not match my existing Beocord 2000, Beogram 3000 and Beogram CDX. The 3300 range got itself a bit more of a 1980s look which I’m not as keen on! The 2000 and 3000 range are much nicer to look at, and I’ve looked at the other items in the 3300 range on ebay (cassette, turntable, cd plaver); it would be expensive to get the matching set.
I think therefore I’ve just made the decision to keep what I’ve got. It looks great and it sounds great, and I can live without the remote! As for the speakers, I think I’ll by an external speaker selector so I can switch between speakers 1, 2, or both.

It’s a little confusing; in the table of functions, under ‘What may be operated?’, it says ‘All Beomaster Terminal functions’, giving the impression that anything you can do on the Terminal 3000 remote can be done through the MCL30.
I’m still at a loss at how the damned thing actually connects to the Beomaster 3000, since the Beomaster 3000 seems to have no specific connection for it. I am guessing the added the MCL30 to the range of products after the Beomaster 3000 was released, as the Beomaster 3000 manual makes no mention of it’s existence.
Thanks for your help thoigh – I know more now that I knew earlier…

That does give a lot of useful info thanks. What I can’t figure out is how it actually connects to the Beogram 3000 – how does the receiver get the instruction from the mCL30? There is no specific connection for it on the back of the Beomaster 3000, and there is no mention of the MCL30 in the Beomaster 3000 user manual.
Mind you, they can be bought quite inexpensively; I’ll probably just buy it anyway and try to figure it out.

Update – belts arrived, fitted quite easily (using the YouTube video I mention in previous post), would you beleive the damned thing works perfectly. Needs some cleaning but honestly, sounds pretty decent. Thanks for your help Ninni.

Thanks – that does explain the behaviour exactly. eBay seller gave me a partial refund and I have ordered replacement belt kit, so hopefully, will all soon be in order.

Thanks for the tip – you were spot on (and the eBay seller was a liar – this clearly did not work when sold!). The two drive belts are in place (but a bit loose), but the smallest belt, which I believe is how it detects the presence of a cassette, was totally degraded – it was practically liquid when touched. That would explain why it behaves as if no cassette is in place even when one is. I can get a full set of the 3 belts for £15 so will buy and replace; thanks very much for your help.
Searched YouTube and found video “Bang & Olufsen Beocord 2000 Cassette Deck – Repair, Mods, Belts & Service”, and that proved invaluable.
The eBay seller agreed to refund half the cost, so that’s something.
