Interestingly, it shows a Vesatec V80. Exactly the same thing has
happened to the platten roller in my V80 :-(, so sometime I am
going to
have to work out how to repair that,,,
Would it be possible to extract the roller and clean it, then use
multiple
layers of inner tube to make it up to the right thickness? Use an
adhesive
to stick the layers together and to the metal roller otherwise they will
work themselves up toward one end. Inner tubes are available in a
wide range of sizes from bicycles, trade bikes (mountain these days?),
motorcycles, cars, lorries and tractors and they can be stretched a lot.
