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.
Hi,
You possibly need to lubricate the capstan motor.
