I recently came into a good deal on an otari mx 7308 1" 8 track, with a bad pinch roller. So far the best I can do is $150, but since I’m in tech school for CAD and have access to a machine shop I was considering how hard it would be to make one.
I know it will have to be well made but the shop teacher says that as long as I can get the right material we should, in theory be able to machine it.
The pinch roller is on a metal hub that I think I can press out then press back in to the new "tire."
Does anyone know what material I need?
Could I use urethane?
This does not have to be a permanent solution I just need to pull some tape and not damage the machine.
Any help would be -- helpful
