As per the pic below the red circled area is the pivot point of the pinch roller arm assembly. It is all but bound at the pivot point and I thought penetrating oil would loosen it but has not within an hour. I guess I need to remove the C clip there to remove the arm from the pivot point and thoroughly clean it. I think, but may be wrong, one end or the other of this arm must also be removed to totally access the pivot point to get the brass collar off behind the arm. (Am I making sense?) Perhaps this is a common issue and someone here has done this before and can school me. When I push the arm to make contact with the capstan the drive system seems fine. As it is now it feels like a like an old record changer arm bound from old hardened grease. E T ET "If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do suck seed" - Curly Howard 1936 |
