I'm new to the B&O world and loving every minute of it! The problem I'm having with my near mint Beogram 1700 is once in awhile when I push the 33 rpm button, it plays in the 45 mode. If I push pause, then 33 again, it usually plays in the 33 mode. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thanks,

Eric

Eric,
Welcome to Beoworld !

I'm almost sure that the "alternative" speed is exactly the double of the normal, that is 66rpm instead of 33.
This is almost always caused by a slipping belt.
The motor will spin up too easily, it will reach a too high speed and
the electronics will happily lock it there.
There can be other reasons but a worn belt is by fra the most often seen.

We had other threads regarding this issue on similar decks but the
essence of it is the above.

Thanks for the reply Martin, I will check the belt and get it replaced.

cheers

Eric
