Re: Philips N1500 - can it be tricked?
Owen, there are plastic gears associated with the tape loading system (plus the cord and pulley), all of these to the right of the head drum. If that’s what you mean, 3D-printed replacements (plus belt kits) are available from a Dutch supplier on a well known auction site. It was NOS gear parts I used which are doing their job well, so far.
If your restoration does not go forward, please let me know if the machine becomes available.
Philip
