Default Philips N4308 Service info required

Hello all,

I'm looking for service information for a Philips N4308 I have just aquired, it has been 'got at' and the reel brakes are in a right mess.

Wall mount pipe clips, lots of hot melt glue and some cardboard!!!!

If someone could share an exploded view of the deck/parts I would appreciate it, so I might be able a fashion a better replacement, or point me in the right direction where to download info.

Thanks for your time,
Tony

Cool Re: Philips N4308 Service info required

Hello Tony,
The 4308 is a very basic machine mechanically, apart from the rubber inserts in the clutch housings & the friction disc attached to the underpart of the upper spool carrier there is little to go wrong. Just how has it been butchered , clips , glue, cardboard Can you send a pic

Hi Doffery,

Have a look at the pictures, it looks a bit grim.

Cheers,
Tony

Tony,
The belts don't look to bad !. Thats a plus on these machines.
They have usually turned to a gooey mess just like wet liquorice. So thats a good start.
