Beocord 2400
1st November 2010
This machine is very sturdy and reliable but here are a few common faults:
Noise and intermittent operation: Check the soldering under the regulator transistors 1TR10 and 1TR13.
Weak or no recording on either or both channels: Check the balance control, if this is in order clean the contacts of the switch built into the microphone socket.
Automatic stop system malfunctions: The wires may be broken off the two leaf switches behind the head bridge.
Noise and instability after recording: Clean the contacts of the relay 1RL1. This is hidden under the mechanism and so is easily overlooked.
No playback sound on one channel: Check 1C03/1C203 (220uF) as appropriate.
Background hum when used with Beomaster 1900/2400 models: The cassette deck should be placed to the right hand side of the receiver in order to avoid pickup from the latter’s mains transformer.
