My next project is refurbishing a Beocord 2400 deck. Lots of work needs to be done cosmetically. The deck is running though (at least now, not sure after) so thats good. I saw some belts inside that needs to be replaced, I discovered 2 at the moment, one certainly is for the counter and easy accessible. Martin (Dillen) have you got these belts available? I need other belts as well but they are on hold untill I know which one I need in total. Just to save shipping costs. Will post pictures later...

Please keep up this thread, I'm very interested, the Reel to Reel is on my whish list, probably going to bring from DK on my next trip.

Will post some pictures Søren..

In the workbench section!

Ready and waiting Leslie!

BTW, when does your project start?

I already took it apart but to reassemble it again I have to wait for the new belts. Hope Martin has some... Will take pictures tomorrow (beddy time now)!

Nice project !
These Beocords are built like a tank.
Sadly, I don't have the belts but the demand seems to be higher than ever so I will
be happy to look into having some produced.

You could say that Martin, the Beocord was packed in a banana box without any inside protection and it arrived safely and is still spinning.

Will order the other belt soon. Looking for others as well. Thanks!

Drool.

That is all.

Rich, sorry but have been searching on the net to find out what "drool" means. Can't find any translation... Please explain

Drool means kwijlen like a dog drools for a bone

Saliva is involuntarily pouring out of my mouth because I want an old Beocord 2400 reel to reel.  (And a Beogram 1000 with a stylus fitted for playing 78 rpm records.)

Sorry for the American slang!

That's okay Rich, I'm used to hear and sometimes talk American slang. I work for an American company but never heard the word "drool".

Here's the link to my "restoration" Beocord 2400.

Very beautiful restoration, Leslie. 
It looks brand new and with those photos you really would like
to reach out and play with it.

Martin

They are wonderful machines - I had one which still had the plastic over the controls , which I stupidly removed. I gave it to Tim as I really never used it. It needed the tape brake sorting but apart from that was perfect. It is the one that appears in the Jarman's book. The build quality is fantastic - as it should be - these were very expensive! About £2500 in today's money.

Well thank you Martin, finally a compliment from the master himself! Still need to replace the belts though, its working but, you know! Let me know if you can get them...

Peter, what do you mean with plastic over the controls? The build quality is indeed fantastic! Unfortanetely not an object to sell, cause this thing weighs a ton!

Wow, a great restoration project!

A small question: Can the 2400 work normally when standing in upright position? Take a look at pic 21 on picasa

Thanks! No, it can not Søren! It wil make a lot of noise inside... Looked just better for the picture standing up! Have to get me some metal reels...

Ahh okay ^^

I think that RMGI still makes 7" metal reels by the way.

Edit: They do, but you'll need NAB adaptors.

Had to take a break from the RL project...

Those are some great photos Leslie, even better the second time through!!

I already bought them. Have to pick it up end of the week!

Peter, since you didn't replied on my question about the "plastic cover" I found out that you probably meant this one?

2nd one for restoration
