Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Hi all, was wondering if anyone had pics or a manual how to fix the belts on the blaupunkt cassette deck. And what the belt sizes were for it. I have the uq7 stereo. Thank you very much for your time. |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Go to the Fiero store. They sell new belts they and comes with instructions. put one in 5 years ago and still goin strong |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair How do i know which belt kit fits the cassette deck? |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Chose the one that describes your stereo. iirc they only have on kit for the 5 way equilizer. |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Thanks, sorry for all the questions but do you have pics or a manual on how to changethe belts? I have so many cassettes that need to be played! |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair I don't I used the instructions that came with the belt kit, do two or more and you won't even need the instructions anymore, plus I lost them. Although next time I do one I'll take pics. Idk what the Camaro UQ7 stereo is post a pic and I'll link you to the right kit. |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair I have a Trans Am. It's the uq7 with the sub gain switch and 5 band equalizer. Do I have to take the stereo apart to get to the belts? The performance Sound group option |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Yes its very easy though. All that matter is the equilizer on the stereo for the kit they all pretty much come apart the same. get this ( http://www.fierostore.com/Product/De...5557&d=276&p=1 ) it has instructions with it. First time out may take you 30 mins to and hour. I can do this in 5 minutes. |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Thank you I greatly appreciate it. I'll try to take it apart. Last time i took it apart i could not get to the tape deck. |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair I too would love to have my deck working. I had called Blaupunkt directly 2 years ago and told the rep that I was looking for belts for one of their decks from the 80's. He laughed at me. I ended up having a MP3 jack installed, but still miss the deck. In case you can't get the belts to work but want to retain the radio and would like to be able to play MP3's, check out the following link (my post is #9) https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/car-...cks-w-aux.html Dizz, I just ordered the belts (pictorial directions are a bonus!) and hope that this 20 bucks will get my deck rockin' again. Thanks for the link! Thanks! |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Changed the belts today and it still does the same thing, the only thing left is the drive motors =(. Idk how to fix that tho. On a side note tho, now my car goes below 500 rpm when i stop at a light what's going on? sounds like it wants to die and also at start up it'll start normally idle at the right but sounds like it wants to die too.?????? |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair what problem are you having with the cassette player? I have been using a blaupunkt transport delco in my car since 1993(radio came from '84 cadi:thumbsup:)I have had to fix it several times since then as it gets heavy usage. Besides the usuall loose/broken belt problems and worn heads,there are a couple other problems common with these: -if it crimps tapes that usually means the pinch rollers have hardened-this is fairly common with the early white hub pinch rollers,the later(around 1990 up) black hub pinch rollers don't seen to have this problem and fit the earlier versions.Older alpine pinch rollers also fit if the bronze bushing is shaved on the sides just a little-the older alpine ones have brass hub with a bronze bushing. -had a motor go bad once,brushes wore down so much the brush position on the commutator was shifted and motor started to run fast :lol:-apparently the motor's speed control circuit could not compensate enough... |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair I will put in a tape the up and down arrows will flash and it will eject. It acts like it's changing sides and will spit the tape out. I changed the belts and it still does it. Dad said it was the motor do you think it is? |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair bad motor is one of the possible causes,but there are several others-above the reel drive pulley(usually it's black,driven by the short belt)is an optical pickup to detect rotation of this pulley-if the pulley stops for more than a certain amount of time the player will switch directions then eject the tape if pulley rotation is still not detected.if cassette mechanism is positioned too low on the bracket pulley can rub on bracket and stop when the mechanism is down in the play position. Try a clear cased cassette where movement of the tape can be observed-if no movement probably a bad motor or no power getting to motor due to broken wire or other electrical problem. |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair I tried the clear cassette trick and it seems like no movement of the tape is occurring. What to do from here? |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Go to a pick n pull and take out another cassesette drive. |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair I doubt my local junk yard has trans ams lying about. But, I will try. But, i'm taking a gamble with that, is there a safer way? |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair DizzTransAm's suggestion is a good one-will get you a spare parts stash for your radio too:thumbsup:you don't need to check for just trans ams-lots of different 1984-Ca.1994 GM vehicles used the blaupunkt tape transport in the upper end cassette decks:check cadillacs,astros,s-10s, buicks,pontiac 6000s etc.though those years.The later blaupunkt transports,around 1989 up used a different motor and i am not sure if those interchange with the earlier ones, but its likely they do.These radios are very common in my local junkyards and i automaticly grab them when found:lol: most i find are in '85-90 midsize FWD cadillacs... |

Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Thanks but,before I tear apart some poor car. I'm going to make a vid of what it does just to confirm it. (Better to be safe just in case) |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair .... I can't find a replacement nor can i find out whats wrong with this deck. I've been researching like a mad man. |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Here's the vid of the issue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEKPIJfu70k |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair Wow it ejects pretty quick. I still say go to a self serve yard and rip out another cassette drive, should not have any difficuly finding one, any givin day I can come out with a wheelbarrow full of em. |
Re: Factory Blaupunkt Cassette Deck Repair I called about 7 local junk yards and even some that are hours away and they all said they dont have radios or those car models I mentioned. In brooklyn it's hard to find junkyards cause everybody leases in NY. Thirdgens are rare here. I'm going to keep calling though. Is there any way you can send me one? I'll pay for it and the shipping if the price is right. |
