Subject: Pinch rollers

From: "Andy Thompson" <andy.thompson@...>

Dear all - advice needed.
 
I've been doing a good bit of recording on #1145 lately (at last!), and I've been having quite a bit of trouble keeping individual notes set up. I'll adjust everything before I start, then after 1/2 hour, some notes are 'out' again. Also, I can feel a distinct vibration on certain notes, and adjusting the pad/roller doesn't seem to make much difference. I tried spinning the rollers by hand, and while some spin freely, the problem ones barely move. I'm not terribly technically-minded, but am I right in thinking I have a problem with these rollers? Is this a stupid question? What can I do about it?
 
Help!
