I think I've come up with something that will
work.
The outer and inner cross section of the roller is .7" and
.5" so I dug around at Weird Stuff to see if any old DC2000
drives were close. The Colorado 250 appears to be, and with
a bit of work with a small flat blade screwdriver I was able
to remove the rubber from the .5" shaft. Now, I need to clean
the goo out of one of the MCD-40 mechanisms and try it.
This may be a workaround for the HP's as well. If someone has
a caliper handy, I'm curious what the cross sections are for
the roller in that.
Nearly all of the DC2000 type Colorado drives use the same roller, and
they are pretty common. Didn't someone on the list find a type of hose
that worked to replace some of these rollers? All of the Wangtek drives
for my systems have had their rollers turn into that goo mess.
