Dear All,
 
Very shortly we will have new pinchroller assemblies available featuring  
stainless steel springs and precision ground pinchrollers.  Each  pinchroller 
will have the unique Streetly 45 degree edge chamfer to prevent the  drive 
surface becoming concave with age and concentrating the pressure to  help 
with difficult tape stock such as Ampex and Basf/Emtec.  The rubber is  bonded 
to a Nylon 66 hub which rotates on a precision aluminium shaft to create  
an excellent low friction bearing.  Call me for further details.
 
The warning signs of worn out pinchrollers:
 
Tram lines along your tapes approx. 1/16" in from the edge
Wobbliness when you rock the key
Slow adjustment from stall.  A good roller should come up to speed in  1/4 
to 1/2 turn.
Hard glass like surface
Heavy keyboard!!!
 
Best,
 
Martin
