Hi
As those that followed the original thread, I had the capstan rubber
turn to goo. I've tried replacing the capstan with a piece of tygon
tubing and it is not working. The problem seems to be that it has
too much memory. If it sits for just a few minutes, it gets a bump.
I'll need to locate some similar sized rubber tubing. My local
hardware only carries the tygon but I think I can find something
at the auto shops, used for vacuum lines of fuel lines.
I'll let you know what I find.
In my experiments, I was able to get a partial write/read to
work so I'm on the right track.
I still need to understand why the 8mm didn't work as expected.
