My first guesses would be a dirty head followed by a poor contact for the DIN plug to the amp. If the weak channel is the right one then it could be the belt needs replacing. I had this problem with my BC8500 - thinner tapes (C90 and longer) showed the problem less. My theory was that the thicker tapes (C60) didn't pull dead flat over the head for

Hi Bieele, I've seen that sort of thing before. Not on B&O though - back when tellys were black and white, turning up the brightness way too high would generate exactly that effect. So I'd reckon something has gone out of adjustment, big style. As this has been developing slowly I'd hazard a guess at a component or two drifting out of

Hmmm - I'll take it from the top. Unplug the deck from the mains while you do this. The black balance weight is a push fit onto a chrome bushing. It's anchored there by a ball bearing - twist (to un-anchor it) and pull to remove it, push and twist to replace it. The chrome bushing has two screws to lock it down - you'll need a jewellers

Good grief! Where did that come from? Didn't preview... Lets try this then... Steve

I've just been taking photos. The sticker on the back is missing, but the circuit diagram, which shows the six settings, says "BEOMASTER 1000 TYPE 2301/5-2302/5 2303/5-2305/1". I don't suppose there's anything inside that would narrow things down any better? Steve ps - tried (and tried! and tried!) and failed to attach photos.

Good Lord! So that's where they all went... Steve
