Cassette Pinch Roller

C

CJB

Is there anywhere on the web I can order / purchase small pinch
rollers for a cassette recorder. The one I have now has a depression
due to the autostop not working and the player remaining on for many
hours before I noticed it. I actually need a company in the UK or one
that can ship to the UK. All I need is the roller - not the mounting.
I need a selection so that I can use the best one that fits. Many
thanks - Chris B.

Find a small local industrial rubber supply company.
Ask about cordage of the relevant diameter.
Drill a hole down the centre of a cut piece of this cordage.

local suppliers to me, Hampshire, England
Portmere
Martins
Comrie
Technix

Preferably go in when its quiet and stock up with a range of "O" rings and
they may give you a sample length of cordage, otherwise about 2GBP per
metre.

OK - thanks everyone. Filing the bump out of the roller didn't work -
so replacement it is. I'll try the cordage idea. Hadn't thought of
that!! Great idea. Chris Brady.

a pic of the mech and pinch roller would be useful.chances are it will
be the same one used on any number of budget machines, the ones
pre-1984 ish were larger and the ones after that are smaller. you may
have to get one from a cannibalised junk radio/cassette or midi system
from the tip or car boot sale.

meanwhile here is a page with a few
