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....

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.

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.
