Hi!
I replaced the belts provided by Dillen (thank you!) on a Beocord 7000. Now the ff and rw work but the tape head moves to engage but the reels don't move. The tape head retracts after about one second or less and then attempts to engage the other side to the same effect. Also pressing play on the front of the closed drawer has no effect at all.
I'd really appreciate any ideas of what could be wrong!
I found that this black plastic wheel that has the wide belt around it (pointing at it with a screwdriver in the first Pic) needs to be engaged beneath the larger metal wheel. I fiddled with it so now the playback works. I got it to play for for approximately 10 sec at a time before it grinds to a halt.
Now there is a loud screeching sound but I'm not sure if the screech and the halting playback are connected. Logic tells me they are.
If anybody has had either of these issues I would really appreciate some assistance!
Turned on Brian Enos Discreet Music on the beogram for some relaxation.
