I have recently acquired a Beocord 3300 and it worked fine. Today I inserted a cassette and pushed a play button but it would not move. Whatever button I press, nothing happens - the cassette is stuck in (the heads have locked into the cassette and will not retract) and I cannot get it out. All the ligjts are lit and everything seems to be OK. The tape deck is linked to a Beomaster 3300. What do I need to do?

Turn off the power first and see if that helps. It sounds as if you have a belt problem - Martin can get you new ones.

Don't force the stuck tape out !

The belts in your Beocord will have stretched or degenerated, that's normal with age.

I can supply sets of drivebelts for Beocord 2000, 3300, 5000, 6000, 6002, 8000, 8002, 8004, 9000 and
several others.
If can include mounting instructions, they will also tell you how to remove the stuck tape without breaking anything.

You have a PM (check your inbox at the top right corner).

Thanks! I did switch it off and on again and it relesed the cassette. Quite simple.
