I have a TU-58 and yes it had gooey drive wheels.
Now it no longer has that problem but I have black and gooey fingers.!!!
Yep.
I know this issue has been addressed before.
Yep.
So I think somebody must know where I can get the
right tubing to replace
the degraded stuff.
The drive hub is 0.42" and the rubber bit was 0.62" o/d
I've used 5/8" (0.625") OD Tygon tubing, often used for aquarium lines
and drainage lines. I just get a snip off the roll, place it over the
end of the cleaned hub, and slice it to the right height to provide a
"wheel" as wide as the original.
A UK source would be nice,
Can't help you with that. I get my Tygon at the hardware store. No
idea what sizes you would have there.
