Beocord 6002 (HX-PRO)
Beocord 8000
Beocord 8002 (HX-Pro)
Beocord 8004 (HX-Pro)

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 develop “memory”-effect (staying deformed) if left engaged for a prolonged time.
The set includes new rubber parts for all four idler wheels used in the stated models.
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.
