Dictaphone model 1253 dropped and now will not work. After the immpact it worked momentarilyh and then stopped. Need repair in portland, Or. believe the drive mechanism was damaged? Bob

Hi,

Please ensure that the product has no limit on the brand of batteries that can be used in it. If you can, please stick to the same brand that was initially used by your dictaphone. If these brand of batteries do not work, I would call philips to ask about the nearest repair vendor to you. That vendor should be able to troubelshoot and fix your Philips device.

Thank you.

Make sure the foot pedal is plugged into the SIDE of the machine and not the BACK of the machine. I've seen many people make this mistake...

You were NO help at all. I asked for a location to have an electric lawnmower repaired in my area. You gave me a source 2500 miles away. Obviously I cannot count on assistance through this site. What happened to REAL PEOPLE who can offer some intelligent reply? If I could repair a lawnmower, why would I need to ask you?

I've still got some parts for these machines if you still need it repaired.

I went to Google and entered Dictaphone 0421 + manual. Took me to a website titled FREE DICTAPHONE C-phone 0421/0424 manual. This lead to MT Stars, with link at bottom of page for manual download. It worked for me. I saved it into My Documents

Is there any way to turn volume higher on model #0421? Old model and I think the volume button is not working...
