First i think is because i try a AMPEX 456 from a friend when i buy this machine.i fouud the problem of the sticky tape and
stop immediately，and rewind tape,it's very slow.after that i check pinch roll,it's seem ok,i clean it with water.then i buy MRL and run with no problem.and then some NOS AMPEX 407(now i don't think is NOS),and i find the problem!then i buy CAIKLEEN,i plan to clean the pinch roll,but now i see:the pinch roll sticky itself!
sorry my english,i want know is :first the sticky tape ,and then it's make the pinch roll sticky OR pinch roll sticky itself ?
i must buy a new one or somewhere can fix it.
i miss my DIGI001:)

google terry's rubber rollers for a price and then send it to him. he does good work.

a little different world than the digi, can be a pain in the ass sometimes
 
Terry's Rubber Pinch Rollers & Wheels

He rebuilt my MSR-16 counter roller. Very good prices.

Also, Ampex 407 (unless manufactured in 1995 or later) is no good. If it is in a grey box it is bad. Does not matter how stored, it is a factor of time and chemical breakdown.
 
my 407 is 1998,now i'm not sure which sticky frist,roll or tape.if is roll, 407 maybe ok
terry reply my email,his prices is good.but i just found a factory in my city which made roll for print machine they can re-rubber the roll.
price is ok,but important i think the time for me is good,they can do it in few days,i ship to terry maybe 3or 4 days!
but i'm not sure the pinch roll for tape recorder is made by a special rubber than the others rolls.i will take my roll to that factory ask their engineer today，if they can't do it, i'll sent to terry immediately.
 
I sent the roller for my TSR-8 to Terry-came back like new....I read in something he posted that the sticky thing is caused by a factory error - there was a step omitted in the curing process.. this is why some rollers last forever and some go all icky..nothing we did... I know what you mean about the
001...I am using an 002 with 7.4.2 to archive interviews.. after replacing two power harnesses it is rock steady... good luck with the roller--Rick
