HeHello, I have just serviced a Beosystem 3500 and lubricated the gears of the cover of the Beocord and BeoGram CD with special lubricant. but its motor still makes a screeching noise. any idea what lubricant I can use for the motor bearings? (so that no plastic parts fail or become brittle. thank you in advance

What "special lubricant" did you use?

I used Barrierta grease L55/3 ( it did cost 50€ for 30gr in 2009)The belt i bought from Beoparts. Expensive but it is the exact measurments and thickness. And Lisa provided me with pictures and help. Most belts from ebay are too thick it seems so i did not want to take the risk.
The belt will not be the problem then.
I suggest you add a small drop of oil to the motor bearing. Usually, the outer (visible) bearing will dry out before the inner, and it's also the outer bearing that takes most
of the sideways load, so I would start there.
A little sinter/spindle oil would be the choice.

You see a picture of the motor, they seems the same like the sliding doors for the beosound century or beocenter 2500. Does it matter that they both have a differend number? So i can buy the 2 on the picture as replacemwnts for the original squealing ones from the beocord and cd 3500...
Seems that it's not the motors but the gearboxrs. Somebody has an exploded vieuw of them? I dont want to take them apart before i know how to re-assemble them
