B&O Beocord 9000 Belts
Hi Forum Members:
I have a B&O Beocord 9000 cassette deck and the two belts ( I believe one is the drive belt and the other may be a counter belt ) inside the transport system have been broken and melt. I have a hard time trying to find a source for replacement belts. Any member knows where I might be able to get a set of replacement belt for this deck? Thanks.

Martin Olsen in Denmark supplied mine (@$16/set) 3 years back (olsenme@yahoo.com)
Trades on eBay as dillen_de - though the belts aren't currently listed.
Wish I could get my 9000 (and two 8004's) working..

Hi:
Thanks very much and I will try to contact him. At the same time what went wrong with your 9000?

Bought all 3 on eBay.
8004 - $10 - worked fine with new belts + a 'service'.
Then put onto a cushion whilst 'valeting' another deck - 'off/standby' - morning came - Very Warm..wouldn't 'power-up'..
Got the 9000 - thought it only needed new belts (as above) - but no power to the motor.
Got another 8004 - ditto (they are invariably sold with 'needs new belts'...)
Learnt my lesson - but, potentially, nice decks.. which I'd like to repair - have the Service Manuals - and suspect there is a 'generic' fault that causes these failures...
Possibly heat-build up related..far too much circuitry crammed into a small space....a real 'rats-nest'..
It would be well to lubricate the tape mechanism (rear-section) - which is pretty complex - as some 'grease' can solidify (actually the main fault with my 8004 #1).
The drive mechanism (the two belts) is really a bit of cheap-Victoriana - & amazed it works 'properly' without obvious wow/flutter.
Hopefully you can get the belts from Martin - I don't know another supplier..

Recently repaired a beocord 5000 with belt trouble - usual rotted rubber, Used replacements from CPC belts cheap enough to buy eithor side of the calculated diameter and try.
One thing I noted which may help, the melted belt had jammed the main drive and this had overloaded the power supply for the motors resulting in a burned out resistor in the PSU. Replacing this restored the beocord to working order.
