Update. After re-adjusting everything, lubricating the transport, I can say I am thrilled. It is every bit as good as my Beocord 9000, which comes as a surprise... Or not! I didn't want to believe it, but it does! Even Dolby C works perfectly. The cassettes are compatible with ALL my other decks. And that's before the new pinch roller! Only

Thank you Martin. No, no, only the standby dot is lit! I'm glad that the drawer has recovered normal operation, thanks for confirming it!

Hello everyone, I have bought a Beocord 5000 and everything works (the pinch roller is glazed though) but the drawer is very stiff and the motor has difficulty to make it move by itself.

Hello! Well I've skimmed the Web, especially UTube and it seems that many actually don't have the fake digital indicator... A common problem then?
