I recently purchased a beocord 1200 reel to reel on ebay, when I plugged it in it made a loud clicking noise. I removed the back panel and found the dive belt was broken as well as the much smaller, I believe it to be the, tape counter belt. Can anyone tell me where I might find replacement belts for this machine. Any help would be appreciated.

I would either start with a dealer or the free tech support line Beocare, they might be able to help. Good luck. 

Try Dillen in here - he's got a lot of parts for classic equipment. The person at B&O Beocare wouldn't know where to begin ...

Just search for Dillen here on the forum. He's got several posts in the Vintage section.

O rings can be cut to size and glued if you need new belts of an odd size. A Motor factor can supply them.

A belt set for this machine is currently in the making.
It has been underway for a long time but hopefully ready soon.
As Peter suggests, you can make a temporary solution by glueing ends of cut belts
together but especially the capstan belt is not that easily accessed so not a very
easy job at all.

Drivebelts are now available for Beocord 1200 and 1600 open reel tapedecks.
