Thanks Omminp.

You were right… again 🙂

3 rubber buffers were broken in two parts, the 4th was the only still in one piece.

3 drops of loctite made the job, I feel more secure now.

While the set was opened, I took videos of the moving parts at the 3 speeds. The belt on the right side moves strangely. The set is more noisy when “closed”.

Videos are online on this playlist, if you can’t reach them just tell me:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5Sdc5VmHaOJJCaNR6syj5EfxE5SZrQ_H

PS: The type stated on the schematic is 4136 50 Hz

Kind regards,

Hello Beoworlders,

Chartz and Omminp, thanks for your precious informations.

I opened the set and cleaned what I could, including the heads which seem to be OK.

I did not put oil on the idlers, as I don’t know which kind of oil to use.

The exchange of capacitors is unfortunately out of my competence.

The connection from Beocenter to the Radio input on the BC 2000 works.

I kept a connection from the Line socket to an USB soundcard and tested the recording on a laptop. Test was successful.

Good surprise, a small envelope containing the schematic is stuck inside of the bottom plastic case.

2 problems remain:

1: I cannot find how the chassis is held on the wooden frame. I found one screw on the right side, underneath the headphone jack but could not find anything on the left side.

So if I place the set vertically, the chassis tends to get out.

Unfortunately the service manual available on the old site is in German and I don’t speak this language.

2: The set is rather silent on low speed, more noisy on middle speed and supersonic on high speed.

It does not work when placed vertically.

Could a video help someone to diagnose where the defect stands?

Thanks for your help,

Yann.

Hi all,

I tested the set and bought it.

By chance, the heads are not worn out, so I can play the tapes.

But Chartz was right, idler wheels must be hard and the BeOcord sounds as a BOeing 🙂

As my project is to digitalize the tapes it is not so annoying.

By chance, the line-out works but the plug is wired in a strange way, as input and output pins seem to be reversed.

So to connect it to my Beocenter 9000, I have to fiddle with Din/RCA/Din adapters.

Tomorrow I’ll check the speaker outputs.

Kind regards,

Yann.

Hello Martin,

Thanks for the info, my mistake is corrected.

Do you have any clue for the remaining problems?

Does the reading of the tork-meter tape video shows something useful?

Kind regards,

Yann.

Update:

I exchanged the belt with a one bought to Dillen a few years ago but never used.

Unfortunately with no complete result : fluctuations while reading are gone but the other defects stay unchanged.

Any clue?

Kind regards,

Yann.

And did the videos give you other clues?

Thanks Chartz,

I just had a look and these parts are for Beocord 9000 and I have a Beocenter 9000

Are you site they are adapted to my set?

Kind regards,

Thanks Chartz 🙂

The set is proposed at 60 Euros, I wonder if the risk/price ratio is good on such an old machine.

Thanks Omminp,

I’ll check heads very carefully when I’ll test the set.

Hi Stotty,

I’m in Brittany too, near Lorient.

Having some vintage products which need repair, would you tell me where did you send your TV for service?

Please, excuse my intrusion in your thread.

Beobuddy,

Are you talking of the new white foam or of the foam-tape?

Thanks Beobuddy.

Aren’t you afraid that over time the foam will disintegrate and cause a new “Foam-Rot” crisis?

Beobuddy,

On your picture, I notice that you replaced the foam-tape placed on the sides of the column.

Are they part of the foam-kit?

If not, what did you use?

Regards,

Yann.
