Hi
I recently bought my uncles old Beocenter 1800 but when i try playing a record it's easy to hear that the record is running too slow!
The model is from 1975 and according to him the belt / rubber band hasn't been changed in all that time so I have a feeling that is the reason it's running too slow.
So i have two questions:
1. How can I be sure that it's the belt and not the engine that's the problem? (is there an easy way to examine that - like what condition should the belt be in)
2. Let's say the problem is the belt, where can I get a belt that fits the model? I would like to keep it as original as possible
Hope you guys can help me with my problem
Sincerely
Claus
After all those years, the player is very likely to need a new belt anyway, so you could try replacing it and see if it cures the problem before worrying about anything more complicated. The old belts get loose and "limp" with very little elasticity and friction left.
I believe Martin (member "Dillen") should be able to get you a correct belt.
That's a nice Beocenter and well worth using. Welcome to the forum BTW
