    Beocord 2000 Casette Deck

    Having problems with a  Beocord 2000 I brought as non working. First problem was the drive belts had stretched, which seems a common problem. Got some new belts from Martin and I thought all was O.K. Then I tried to record and play back a cassette. All I could hear were a series of clicks. Tried a pre-recorded tape and still the same. My first thought was that the head was no good. changed the head and I still have the same problem. So over to our experts please.

    Do you have a constant max VU reading during play ?

    Re: Beocord 2000 Casette Deck

    You will find that the 8Vref is down, causing the VU to go to full scale and the Beocord to mute.
    Replace the black radial capacitors on the top circuit board. I think they are 220uF. Put in 25V components instead of the original 10V or 16V ones. One of them (or more) will have shorted.
