Philips EL3549

Got handed one of these from the inlaws, cleaning out their loft. As expected all internal belts are just a little pile of sticky goo. Plays ok, but no reverse wind or tape counting due to said belt issues.

Can anybody in the know advise the best place to obtain a belt kit and does anybody have a service manual available.

Try the "see sellers other items" on this link.
I did a slightly later and more complicated model and this is where my belt kit came from.

Cheers, will give it a go later. Am looking at an ever growing pile of rubber dirt blackened solvent soaked Q tips.

I have got a couple more gooey Phillips tape recorders to do.
They go all right once they are done.
