Subject: pinch roller maintenence

From: fdoddy@...
Date: 2006-11-30

 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'.
