pinch roller maintenence

2006-11-30 by fdoddy@aol.com

So I actually had a day off where I could putter and I finally got around to working on my pinch rollers. I rigged a rubber wheel (capstan) on to my electric drill to spin the rollers while I hit them with some 600 grit emory and took the cup out of my rollers as well as give em a little tooth, then hit em with some rubber rejuvenator (the kind used for typewriter platens) and now those suckers grab tape like their life depended on it. Did a pad and roller readjust (naturally as the rollers are a new diameter) No wobblies and notes are clear and true to the end. What a difference!

 Many thanks, Jeff - useful html stuff that's actually quite difficult to 
 filter out from the general Internet 'background noise'.
