Apologies for the model description, the manual book says Beosound Ouverture. I know in Europe it is called Beosound 4000.
Perhaps anybody with a link to the person that can help me to locate a working casette mechanism/motor , please contact me. My repair person from the official B&O dealer in New Zealand has taken 7 months to tell me he may have located one, but that is not yet confirmed.
I will try to find Martin Olsen, member “dillen” but as a new member I am learning to navigate through all this new stuff.
The cassette deck motor has likely been under some strain as a piece of tape got jammed between the capstan roller, almost out of sight for a few hours before I discovered that piece of tape stuck.
I bought it secondhand, previous owner never played tapes, so when I played my first tape on it it was kind of sticky – presumably years of dust – and got wound around the pinch roller. The repair person at B&O dealer removed the tape wound around the roller , but apparently missed a little bit, which I found after a few hours of play.
Since then it played for a while – long or short – before stopping with a squealing sound. Dropped the unit off at the dealer again, and now 7 months later – some good news but nothing yet confirmed.
The cassette mechanism seems a trouble some piece of engineering, as all Beosound Ouverture models handed in for repair at B&O here in NZ have no working cassette mechanism.
Appreciate your responses.
Kindest regards
Robert van de Voort
