Hello everybody
My beocord 6500 makes a sound when it plays.Like a "tic tic tic".This sound is louder and faster if I use the auto reverse function.
Everything works perfectly.
Could you please tell me where this noise could come from?
Thanks
Best regards

I have the same problem. Just changed all belts.
Has anybody an idea, what problem this might me?
My guess from prior experience with cassettes only, and not from having repaired a Beo deck: Old cassettes. If you look at the reel while it is turning, you'll see the smaller (usually take-up) reel actually twisting or rocking a tiny bit as it rotates, making the noise each revolution, as it hits inside the plastic shell. (This is analogous to the repeated "swipe" sound that reel-to-reel tape recorders made when the tape wasn't centered between the plastic hubs, or the hubs had warped.)
You might be able to eliminate the noise by pressing slightly on the take-up side of the cassette shell. Never having done a repair, wild-ass guess: If it happens on *all* your tapes, even new(-ish) ones, then maybe there is a mechanical adjustment I don't know about that is making sure the cassette is level in the well, or the deck's clutch/hub-drive mechanism isn't 100% vertical to the deck well. Hopefully someone with more experience can suggest a repair, but I can say that *many* of my tapes made that noise, in many brands of decks, before I threw the whole mess away...
Thank you for your answer.
But unfortunetly it is not the cassette. Every time I press turn an the deck runs rewind, I hear this clicked sound. Might be a problem with the gears or something like this. Maybe I have made a mistake changing the belts.
I think I have to reopen it :-) But it is difficult to test.
It's a question of factory tolerances in some decks, where a reel brake comes to close to catching.
I like to solve it by glueing in a thin piece of plastic sheet or similar on this edge:

This is the clicking-sound I hear.
