Would the rollers from a tape deck work? You can buy new replacements for
those in different sizes.

Subject: TU58 capstan solutions anyone ?
Checked my VT103... one capstan is a train wreck... the other doesn't
look to bad, but I bet that if it was attempted to be used it would die
quick.
I've read about the use on different drives about tubing, etc to fix
capstans....
Anyone done a T58 here ? Can you let me know what materials I need and
process to replace "goo precursor" with tubing/etc ?
I don't have a lathe, machine tools, etc available to me (beyond files,
a dremel, etc).
Thanks,

I've made several new ones, if you use a product called precision tube.
You can cut it the right length, after gluing it to the capstan, place the capstand on a
small motor which runs on a lab supply, you can grind it to the right size.
At http://www.flickr.com/photos/hp-fix you can see the results of my actions.
