Beomaster 3000 & 3000-2 sliding pointer windows

Limited reproduction.

You are looking at the clear windows used for the sliderule dial type potentiometer controls used for
Volume, Bass, Treble, Balance and Tuning on some of the most classic 1970s Bang & Olufsen Beomaster design stereos, the Beomaster 3000 and Beomaster 3000-2.

The original lens parts yellow and/or develop “fog” with age (and nicotine) and they rarely look their best anymore. In some cases they have simply fallen off the slider button and gone missing. The parts are long out of production and has been unavailable for ages.

For sale here you will find exact reproduction parts for direct replacement:

Rubber tires for the wheels of the motorized drawer in Bang & Olufsen cassettedecks.

Limited reproduction.

These tyres fit:
Beocord 5000 (type 49xx only)
Beocord 5500 (all types)
Beocord 6500 (all types)
Beocord 7000 (all types)

The original rubber parts are prone to develop flat spots, if the Beocord is not used for some time.
Tires with flat spots will cause a jerky and uneven movement of the drawer – and in severe cases no movement at all.
The flat spots are permanent, they will never go away again, and no chemicals will correct the deformation. Only solution is to replace the rubber parts.

Basic mechanical skills and tools is required to replace the parts.
Only the rubber parts will be replaced, all other parts will be reused.

Set containing four rubber tires.

Complete wheel as shown.

This wheel fits the following Bang & Olufsen models:

Beogram 1000 (All types except models with no driving pin (center-driven wheel))
Beogram 1001 (All types)
Beogram 1200 (Type 5213,5214,5216,5217)
Beogram 1202 (Type 5237,5238)
Beogram 1203 (Type 5239,5243)
Beogram 1500 (Type 5208, 5230)
Beogram 1800 (Type 5213, 5216, 5217) and VS models.
Beogram 2000 (Type 5240,5244)
Beogram 3000 (Type 5228,5231,5241)
Beocenter 3500 (All types)
Beomaster 900RG (Compact, De Luxe) (Does not fit models with Garrard deck) Beomaster 1200RG (Does not fit models with Garrard deck)

The rubber on the original wheels hardens with age.
Typical symptoms are vibrations and an annoying whirring noise when the Beogram is running and playing.
In severe cases, the hardened wheel will slip on the motor pulley, causing uneven playback with audible wow and/or flutter – or no platter rotation at all.
No chemicals will provide a lasting repair, and grinding the wheel down will not soften the rubber (and the wheel would end up a wrong size).
If the Beogram was out of use for a long time the original wheel will have taken shape from the concentrated and constant pressing against the motor pulley causing uneven running and repeated clonk-clonk-clonk sounds because of the deformation to the rubber.
This deformation will have hardened and settled into the rubber material and it will never fall back to original shape again.

The cure is a new wheel.

Early Beograms had closed disc wheels, later Beograms had wheels with ten holes.
Both original wheels had B&O part# 2804012 despite minor differences.
This new idler wheel replaces both types.

Part# 2804012R
Price EUR 39 plus postage.

Beomaster 1900 / 2400 potentiometer repair kit

You are looking at a repair set for the sliding potentiometers used for the tonecontol in some of the classic 1970s Bang & Olufsen design stereo receivers.

The problem with the original part is that the sliding part of the potentiometer breaks, causing the little bronze sliders underneath to lose contact.
This again causes dropouts or completely silent channels, sluggish, intermittent or completely non-working tonecontrols etc.
The problem affects the bass, treble and balance sliders in Beomaster 1900, Beomaster 1900-2, Beomaster 2300, Beomaster 2400 and Beomaster 2400-2.

The potentiometers were custom produced for B&O and replacement parts has been unavailable for ages.
A new type of replacement potentiometers were available from B&O at some point but it was only for a very short period of time and only very few receivers got them.

This kit is for the old type potentiometers RUWIDO PSK 13.359.00 (the ones that break).
It contains the three pieces needed to repair the bass, treble and balance control sliders.

The new parts have been improved over the originals in that the material has been made practically unbreakable and the problem areas were made stronger, all to prevent future problems.

Fitting instructions included (photos and english text).
Basic electronic skills and tools (a little soldering) is required to replace the parts.
You will replace only the broken plastic parts. You will transfer the little bronze contacts to the new parts and you will reuse the rest of the original potentiometers.

Beogram 6006 8000 8002 Tachodisc

The Bang & Olufsen tangential turntables Beogram 6006, 8000 and 8002 are
superb machines, but some of them were initially produced with a
photographic type of platter speed encoding disc which deteriorates and
disintegrates over time resulting in speed deviations and unstable platter
rotation with audible wow.
The encoder disc (tachodisc) is read optically and a typical symptom of
a tachodisc losing its printed pattern is (apart from wow from the huge speed
deviations in the reproduced sound) a quite noticable hum from the motor for
every revolution of the platter as the electronics struggle to correct what seems
to be an ever changing platter speed.
The display can flash its digits too, indicating that the speed cannot be set
correctly and the readout cannot be trusted.

New parts were unavailable for ages – until now;
Made from stainless steel, this brand new high quality product will provide a
lasting solution to the tachodisc problem.
Not only will it solve the problem of the delaminating photographic tachodiscs, it
will also improve the decks speed deviation specs since this new part is far more
precise and has far less jitter.

This is a direct replacement for the original part (part# 2726123 Hub with Tacho washer).
You will only replace the disc.
You will reuse the hub spindle, locking ring etc.

Mounting instructions (english with photos) will be included.
Basic mechanical knowledge and tools are required to perform the operation.

Beomaster 1200RG (Does not fit models with Garrard deck)

The original belt has unique properties, – no standard off-the-shelf belt on
the market will work correctly.
The size is of course important but parameters like friction and elasticity are
particularly essential because of the way the belt is used and how speed is
mechanically switched in these decks.

This belt is exactly like the original;
Correct shape, correct size, correct friction, correct elasticity.
This is the real thing.

Exact correct belts for the tracking servo motor in Bang & Olufsen Beogram tangential record decks.

The original belt is wedge-shaped (triangular cross-section) for the simple reason that it requires less
torque to run around the small diameter pulley on the servo motor than a similar square belt.
Easy running is essential in allowing the tonearm carriage a nice and smooth travel.

Also – and this is particularly important for the newest generation of
tangential decks, the type 59xx ones (3000,3300,4500,5005,5500,6500,7000,8500,9000,9500 and TX2)
– the choice of rubber material is immensely important;
It must not be too loose, or the belt will simply come off when running fast.
And it must not be too dense or vibrations from the servo motor will be transferred to the floating subchassis, to the platter, to the record, the needle and
your speakers.
If you fit a square belt or a round belt (anything but the real wedge-shaped thing) then each time the tracking motor runs it will be audible as a faint rumble in the background of the music. Needless to say this is quite annoying, – not only
during silent passages in the music, but particularly between tracks, where
there is no music and the tracking motor is very active.
The real belt – and of course this reproduction – was produced with this in mind.

This belt is exactly like the original; Correct shape, correct size, correct friction, correct elasticity, correct density.
This is not some random belt that merely “looks right” or “a substitute that seems to work”.
This is the real thing.

Tracking belts are available for the following Bang & Olufsen Beogram models:

Beogram 3000 (tangential version only)

Beomaster 5000 & Beolab 5000 Sliding Pointer Windows

Limited reproduction.

You are looking at the clear window cursors used for the sliderule dial type controls on the classic 1960s Bang & Olufsen Beolab 5000 stereo system.

The original parts yellow and/or develop “fog” with age (and nicotine) and no longer look their best. The parts were long out of production and unavailable for ages.

For sale here you will find exact reproduction parts for direct replacement:

Photo shows the new parts.

Beomaster 3000 4000 4400 Preset cover window.
You are looking at the little window covering the fingerwheel presets for the FM tuning on several Bang & Olufsen 1970s stereo receivers.
This part will fit Beomaster 3000, Beomaster 3000-2, Beomaster 4000, Beomaster 4400, Beomaster 4401 and the combined system Beocenter 3500.

Being an important esthetic part of their design, the lovely pieces that these stereo receivers are simply wouldn’t look right without it.
Problem is that this part is almost always missing and even in the rare cases where the original window
is still present it will most likely have discolored, bleached or yellowed from sunlight and/or nicotine and
it has most likely deformed to some extent and turned so brittle that it will break or shatter if dropped on the floor or not handled with the utmost care.

The part was long out of production and has been unavailable for ages.
The good news is that this part has now been reproduced (limited production) and even improved;
The new part is UV-safe, which means that it won’t discolor, fog or become brittle even if exposed to years of sunlight.
The new part is made of a much stronger material and is practically unbreakable (unless you REALLY try). The photo is of the new part.

This part replaces original part number 3164052

Beocord & Beocenter Tapedeck Idler Wheel Rubber Set

Idler wheel (clutch / reel table) rubber parts for:
Beocord 2000 (cassette)
Beocord 3300
Beocord 5000 (type 49xx only)
Beocord 6000
Beocord 6002 (HX-PRO)

Beocenter 2200
Beocenter 5000
Beocenter 7000
Beocenter 7002
Beocenter 7007
Beocenter 7700

By now the original idler wheel rubber parts will have worn and/or dried out to an extent where functionality is compromised.
Typical first symptom of worn idler rubber parts is a sluggish or completely non-functional tape wind and/or rewind function. Other functions will usually soon be affected as well and the deck can become mechanically noisy.

The only lasting solution is to replace the rubber parts but they were long out of production and unavailable for ages.

The solution is now here in the form of improved reproduction parts;
Not only will these rubber parts provide an improved friction over the original parts, this brand new
material will not harden with heat or dry out with age as fast as the original material did.
Another good property is that, compared to the original parts, the new parts will not be as prone to “memory”-effect (staying deformed) if left engaged for a prolonged time.

The set includes all idler rubbers used in the given tapedeck.
Four rubber parts are shown in the photo, some decks use only three.
These parts are direct replacements for the original rubber parts. No modifications necessary.
You will be replacing only the rubber parts, you will keep and re-use all other parts.
Replacing the rubber parts requires some technical and mechanical skills and tools.
