Black Goo
I have just opened up a Phillips N 4408/15. what a mess! Just how much Goo can a set of 3 belts dissolve into?
Anyroad, I have ordered three new belts and have found a "Service manual" which is all in Dutch and taken a deep breath before getting stuck into the cleaning... One thing that the Manual didn't show was the belt path. Any ideas or diagrams will be massively helpful! |

Re: Black Goo
Hi,
See the attached pic. comparing the pic with the manual I believe that is the correct path for the drive belt. The pic is a snip of the picture posted here; http://www.dampfradioforum.de/viewto...p?f=31&t=12794. I have annotated the picture. I think you will find that the counter belt runs from the supply reel to the counter drive pulley. Hope that helps. |

Re: Black Goo
I don't know this particular Philips machine - but does it also have clutches under the reel that are made of the same goo material?

Re: Black Goo
Those clutches are seriously gooey when they go.

Re: Black Goo
I think many forum members have found kitchen degreaser to be very effective, and will not damage plastic.
