This reed switch is held closed by the electromagnetic force created by a rotating ferrite wheel in close proximity to the reed switch.</p> <p>You need more than 1 belt, and member Dillen can supply the belts for you. </p> <p>You will also have to soften/renew the rubber on the idler wheels - best done by holding a tissue with alcohol against the rubber wheels, while the idlers are&nbsp;rotating.&nbsp;</p> <p>Once the rubber is soft again, there will be sufficient friction against all the plastic wheels to rotate the ferrite wheel, and keep the reed switch closed - I have spares if you need!</p> <p>Menahem&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/222056.aspxMon, 17 Aug 2009 17:30:52 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:222056Docbryan0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/222056.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=222056<p>Hello from Aberdeen - it&#39;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&#39;s) - I paid &pound;100 for the lot. I&#39;ve read the reviews about the 2200 not being made by B &amp; 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&nbsp; were acquired latterly.</p> <p>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 &amp; O drive - it&#39;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&#39;s like when yu go into a vintage system for the 1st time in years....</p> <p>Suggestions please, accepted with much thanx,</p> <p>Bryan Hide Miller Dunbar.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
