Philips N4307 available (Bristol) - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I have a Philips N4307 reel-to-reel tape recorder to give away. It's a four track (a.k.a. quarter-track) and can accept 7" reels. Tape speed appears to be fixed at 3 3/4 ips. There's a tape-up reel and lid included but no tapes. I don't think this is a valve model -- looks new enough to be transistor, and certainly no magic eye.

Now for the bad news: the belts have turned to a black liquid and dripped onto the inside of the case. I was given the machine in that state, but havn't attempted to fix it. I've no idea if new belts are available, but I seem to recall a posting here that named a belt supplier.

Free to anyone who can collect from North Bristol (BS34 8XB).

The N4307 has now gone to a new home. Thanks to all who had a look at this thread.

I'll be posting some more TV-related stuff (mostly books) soon.
