Dear all,

After replacing all belts on my Beogram 5000/4715, the tape-speed during ‘play’ was noticeably too slow. I read somewhere that this can be adjusted by a certain potentiometer. Where can I find that?

I have the (French 80-page) Service Manual, so you can reply using the images in that SM.

Or should I first lubricate all bearings with a tiny drop of sewingmachine-oil?

Thanking you in advance for your reply,

Dirk

I would never turn anything around in B&O equipment… only when i exactly know what i’m doing.

Clean the drive, the axles, motor with alcohol… it’s 40 years old hard grease.

First clean it, then oil it. Remove the old stuff 100%…

Old grease and fresh oil: after 3 month you have a superglue. Nothing will move any more.
