Philips L3G01T Carrying Handle - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement carrying handle? It doesn't need to be exactly the same. Alternatively any suggestions on how to repair it other than transparent tape?
Thanks

Check the belt & strap boxes in charity shops. The fittings can easily be removed and refitted. I don't think it can be invisibly repaired.

If you were to do an internet search for 'LEATHER BELT BLANKS 3.5MM THICK PREMIUM VEG TAN FULL GRAIN COWHIDE 55" - 140+CM' there are strips of leather very suitable for carrying handles available. I'm not sure if the Forum allows recommendation of a particular seller but if it does I could.

Yes I've seen the leather belt blanks, I think it's the best option. The old vinyl handle strap appears to be riveted to the clasps but I'm sure I can work something out.
