Philips N1500/N1700 belt kits - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

This may be on the forum already, but have come across mfbfreaks.com in Holland which are supplying full belt kits for N1500 and N1700 machines for a very modest price, in Euros. The website is in Dutch (no, really?!), so a translation may be required.
Have been in contact with them, and they can also supply a 3D printed replacement for the toothed gear which attaches to the top of the pulley for rotating the head drum into play position on the 1500 machine.

Hope this is of help to someone.

Phil

Thank you Phil for that very useful information.

Is the replacement loading gear that has been reproduced listed on the website? I had a look and did not find it.
I'm interested in getting hold of a replacement as I have a N1500 with the usual cracked gear. Any indication of the price?

The 3D printed replacement for the toothed gear is out of stock at the moment, but have also been advised that a replacement for the pulley unit which sits below the toothed gear, is also being produced

, and should be ready in a few weeks. Both parts may be available as a set, but that is still to be confirmed.

Thanks for the news, I'll check back in a few weeks for an update on availability.

I've just looked at the web site and even though my computer has translated to English I cannot see a jot about spare belts for videos?

On the homepage, click on Webshop, then in the box underneath 'Zoek op trefwoord of typenummer', type the model number ONLY, not the manufacturer, of the machine you want belts for...

Is there any further news about the reproduction loading motor gear?
