Philips N4308 Belts - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi,
I am sure that this has been metnioned elsewhere at some point but does anyone know of a source/supplier of belts for the Philips N4308 and similar machines?
I now have at least two of these requiring at least one belt (if not all) replacing due to the usual "sticky goo" mess that they seem to metamorphosise in to (lol)

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Hello Brian, There is a chap who owns the tape recorder centre in Blackpool his name is Colin Braddock and his phone number is 01253-345049. He supplied me with a complete set of belts for the 4307/4308 a few months ago for a cost of £18 and i was very happy with his service, the belts are the proper square section belts for the machine and postage to me was VERY prompt. Hope this helps.

Regards.

Regarding Andrews reply , the cost of the set of 5 belts for the 4307/8 is now £14. 00 , not £18. 00 as in prior days.

Very many thanks to all for their assistance-this is wonderful news if I can get to hear my parents voices again! I will contact Mr Braddock asap. Sorry if I missed links earlier but I am extremely new to all this! Thanks again. Liz
