    Beocenter 2200 faulty tape deck

    Hello from Aberdeen - it's been a while.................I have just acquired a Beocenter 2200 with a seperate CDX drive and 2 pairs of speakers (X25-6335 and 2 6515's) - I paid £100 for the lot. I've read the reviews about the 2200 not being made by B & O and the sound being thin and weedy but I thought differently - although that was with the 6515 speakers which were NOT original to the system and  were acquired latterly.

    The onboard cassette tape drive was non-functional and found the drive belt on the flywheel had fallen off due to age and I replaced it with one from a salvaged B & O drive - it's tight and does not come off. After re-assembly everything works LP deck, tuner and external CD; but when tape is selected and play symbol is pressed the mechanism comes forward to engage the tape and play starts but swithes itself off after a few seconds???? I suppose I may have a bad connexion somewhere on a sensor perhaps - you know what it's like when yu go into a vintage system for the 1st time in years....

    Suggestions please, accepted with much thanx,

    Bryan Hide Miller Dunbar.

    The belt needs to be of the correct size, friction, elasticity etc.
    There are three belts in the tapedeck section, a belt kit is available.

    thanx fo that - 2 questions if I may:-

    1. where do I get the belt kit? we do have a B & O shop in Aberdeen - Lord knows how much they will be....

    2. where can I find a diagram showing I have the belts on the correct pulleys? I can only remember seeing 2 - so 1 may already have gone awol....
