Nice one Steve! I repaired my dad's Tape Recorder a Philips 4407, that was about 30 years ago. At the time it only needed new belts. They were not so easy to get because no internet ofcourse so we had to go to parts stores. You can imagine. Recently I had to repair it again, it was much easier te get new belts although I needed 2 sets of different belt sets. And during the first test after I replaced the belts I heard a bang. It happened to be an capacitor that had exploded. I didn't realise that the tape recorder was already more then 50 years old! Thanks for the video and have a nice day Steve. Greetings from your fellow repairman from the Netherlands!

I will - these seem to be rare now ….
Thanks for demonstrating your Rubber Renue technique Steve which was new to me. P.s. love the Pirate King.
The World Record series of tapes don’t have a copyright symbol on them…..
Nice machine Steve.
Glad you like it ….
