Chaps, I have just bought a Beocenter 8000. A super look, would lik it more if it were heavier!!!!!
Need help with the tape player. All i get is a single click when operating it by remote or on deck. Strip down shows the drive gear and belt to be ok with no obvious damaged components.
Does anyone have any guidance ??
regards
chris
Sorry, but it has to be asked, have you tried both sides A and B of the tape?
John.
John, not a problem. Yes tried both sides by physically turning over and also via the remote indicated by the feedback lights. Also made sure the tape operated on another player.
I thought i might be operating wrongly but checked the manual.
cheers
Hi Chris, others may know better but I wonder if the Beocenter tape transport motor is the same as in the Beocenter 7002? I had same problem as you in my Beocenter 7002 and suspected the Hall sensor not detecting rotation, it turned out to be the motor worn out and failing to turn. The bearings, a brass bush wear resulting in a lot of play on the pulley and burnt motor contacts. I tried rotating the motor and bush to get the pulley to be puled in a different direction but was too far gone and the motor has been unobtainable for a long time. BTW when testing the BC7002 motor the polarity is important the two "motor wires" are connected to an internal speed / regulator PCB not the motor windings.
