Hello everyone,

I was wondering...

I am looking for rubber tires for my cassette Beocords. The original ones are of course no longer available, so I was wondering whether replacements were available. I found these companies, all American of course...

They seem to supply rubber tires for VCRs but will they work for Beocords?

It would be nice if someone (ahem) made a chart with all the correct numbers and dimensions for each Beocord...

Why doesn't anyone supply any? Most of the time they are as worn as belts—they harden—and the decks, I find, can never perform as well as new because of these.

Transports invariably become noisy, FF and rewind are sluggish (hardened rubber again), and it's impossible to re-surface the tires satisfactorily.
