Has anyone got any info on these machines?

I have not got one but I see on Ebay a belt kit can be purchased, yet I have never seen a machine up for sale.

Are they a great rarity and is the quality of these machines good or so-so?

They must exist out there somewhere. Do I want one? No, I have enough machines here already to keep me busy until the old man of time bangs on the door. Just curious.

I have a knackered M200 - see radiomuseum, it is this one . Probably closest to a Philips N4307, in appearance /design and performance.

Thanks for the info, I guess there isn't to many around after all.

Is the belt quality comparable to the Philips too (i.e. tends to go gooey)?

Think they were OK, I don't recall any goo.
