Bought a Beocord 2000 from eBay for £60, set of belts also from eBay for £15, and thanks to this video, was able to fit them easily - it's now fully working and matches my existing Beomaster 2000 amp, which looks so cool. Thanks!

Don't know why but I could spend hours watching you repairing this beocord...I'm simply impressed...turning things working so so to working perfectly well....

Thank you mate! I’ve been looking for a video to show me how to put the belts on and finally found yours! Now i Can get my old grandpas Beocenter playing again 😄

Howdy, from across the pond. Thanks for the amazing how-to! I picked up a Beomaster 3000 set at an estate sale and, surprise! The Beocord 2000 is in dire need of new belts. (All the Beogram needed was a needle; think I got lucky.) Anyway, thank you for such a clear tutorial on what I will need to do to get the tape deck back to functional. Now to source the belts…

Thanks for finding me the flap release button. Not got round to servicing mine yet but was curious how to open the thing besides direct force.

Thank you that's a great video I scored a beocenter 2200 from a church sale. They actually threw the speakers out and I found the unit and saved it. Brought it home taped out didn't work I ordered new belts, three of them install them it is working now but the rewind just seems to jiggle. Looks like it's supposed to have a belt on it but I'm guessing they're just interchangeable, from the manufacturing process. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks that's a great video you made!

If you record 3khz in this deck, and play it back to test if it is 3khz, it certainly will play back in 3khz. What you should do is rather, take a cassette with a sound track which has exact 30 min run time, play it on this deck with timer running. That way at end of track you must have 30 min on clock.

Cool restoration. Those keyholes in the back of the case looks like you might be able to mount this on a wall or at least some sort of inclined surface.

Try Elbow Grease Degreaser on rubber belt residue and it will off in seconds. Follow with IPA.

Nice video. I appreciate the 10 minute edit 🙂

You could use a Din to RCA adapter 😊

Can you show me how to tape it? I'm having trouble recording. Press the record light to turn off

That was great Thank you \. where do you get the belts from?

Digressing. Have you done a similar strip down on a Hitachi piano key deck of late ‘70s? I have issues with my D560 and need to delve into the tape mechanism but need guidance.

Good Job! Why you don't you use Din to Rca adapter instead of changing all the wires??

We had an answering machine that looked like that

Restoring my 2000 I have tried some looser belts but still will not turn with any belt applied, and spins freely with no belt. That probably leaves me at trying to identify a replacement motor if no other options. The MMI-6A2RK motor seems hard to source. Do you have any suggestions as far as a alternate replacement motor?

I'm restoring the same B&O 2000 and I tried to get the same belt size you showed in the video at 22:48, but when I put it in place the motor won't turn anymore. If that is the right belt size per your belt size video, does this mean the motor is going bad and doesn't have the torque to turn it?

Are you able to tell us what size belts are needed to service this unit?

Whats the best oil / grease to use on a cassette mech?

At 26:48, you've threaded the rubber belt incorrectly and opposite to what it needs to be. The 2 parts of the belt must be on the SOLENOID side of the Brass Pulley. Also R8 is a 4.7 Ohm resistor, NOT a 47 Ohm.

Did this company EVER make a direct drive deck? All this pretentious wank, but no stereo meters (usually a single line on LEDs and not two) and no direct drive? These guys are almost as bad as BOSE.
