I put a micrometer on the capstan in my 9145A. It had turned to goo,
but not melted yet---so it was intact, but difficult to measure
without deforming. I got a reasonably accurate measurement off it.
Based on experience, this should be close enough to affect a workable
repair (though I haven't gotten to actually doing the repair yet).
HP 9145A 36 Track < 0.800"
That should be read as "just under 0.8 inch."
It was actually harder to clean all the melted capstan residue off the
motor spindle than it was to measure it in the first place. It gets
EVERYWHERE.
