I have a Phillips Reel to Reel tape recorder of 1962 vintage. It’s EL 3459 15/A model. All belts have perished and rubber dolly/drive wheels are sticky and gloopy. This is sentimental as family recordings are on the tape. It was working fine when I stored it away some 25 years ago. I have the microphone that came with it plus it still has the original old wiring and three pin plug. Can someone suggest where I can get spare parts (Nothing on EBay) or get a repair carried out. I am in Milton Keynes
