My Beocenter 9000 which I love dearly has started to be a bit intermittent in whether the CD will actually play or not. As well the door to the CD seems very stiff and doesn't move easily. Would anyone know where it is possible to buy a replacement CD or replacement parts for the CD? I am in Geneva Switzerland where there is an excellent and very helpful technician at Choisy TV, but they told me they have no source for the parts. Is my beloved Beocenter destined to be a radio-cassette?

Many thanks for any help!!

The CD decks are no longer available from anywhere but luckily most faults can be repaired.
Your CD deck will most likely need new capacitors on the servo board, that's very common with
these symptoms and it's a fault that seems to hit all machines sooner or later.
Depending on the deck version mounted in your Beocenter, I can supply a suitable kit and if a correct
kit is not available, one can be made.
Grab a kit and tell the repairer to replace it.
The door(s) will need new belt(s). I am not sure if these are still available from B&O but I may be able
to supply if B&O can't.

These are standard issues, do a search on the forum and you will find lots more info.

Hi Martin,

Many thanks for your help. I would be happy to purchase a kit from you and then explain the above to my local technician. He only speaks French (as luckily I do too) so I'll pass this information on to him. If you would like to supply the belts too, please let me know your contact details and total cost and how I can arrange payment.

All the best,

Warren.

You have a PM.

I have a problem with my Beocenter 9000 with the placing of the CD. It has spring under a plastic cap and it has problems starting the CD while it slips when the CD starts. I have some CD's which are thin and then the problem is even worse then with some CD's which are thicker.

Sometimes the plastic cap also gets loose a bit and the spring has even less pressure, then it won't start at all. 

Any suggestions for this problem?
