My Beogram CD3300 was operating perfectly until recently. Now after not using it for some time, when I push the "eject" button, the lid will not open. It rises a tiny bit, but needs to be manually lifted the rest of the way. I have it on my bench now with the bottom removed, but I don't see any obvious faults. Any ideas?

Probably the belt needs changing. It will still look good but won't function anymore. The replacement belt I used was 46mm, 1.4mm. Dillen can probably supply one!

The only belt I see is on the opposite side attached to a motor. Is there another or is that the belt you are referring to?

There is just one belt in the machine, doing the opening and closing of the lid. If I remember correctly it's next to a motor and some gears. That's the one!

Yes, the belt. But the lid mechanism also works with a microswitch which can also be faulty. Or the lid can get misadjusted with time.

But try the belt first, although you will find it painful to do!
