Hi out there in HomeRecording.com. I have a question concerning the pinch roller removal and replacement proceedure for the OTARI MX-55 recorder? I do't want to experimment and damage the mechanism. :thumbs up:

Thanks,

Mike
 
I think on the MX-55 you simply unscrew the front metal wheel...and then slide the roller off the spindle. There may be a small screw involved.
I don't have a image of the roller in front of me.
There are probably some very small/thin washers on both ends, which often stick to the other pieces...or there may even a small spring behind the metal wheel...so just go slow and open you eyes...and not the order of pieces how they come off the spindle.

Maybe the mods can move this to the Analog forum where you will get more responses, and someone there may have an MX-55.
