Subject: Re: 'melted' tape roller
The first trick is to find a tape drive with a good roller
and measure it's size. A lot of people make new (small)
OK :) Anyone out there got a Sharp MZ80B they're willing to dismantle for
me? 7 screws off the back of the monitor/tape drive housing and 5 screws to
remove the mechanism after some careful cable unplugging, and watch for the
monitor flyback transformer....
sizes such as the HP-85. I've also build up the
aluminium
rollers with layers of heatshrink tubing. HS works but it
wears fast and it's hard to get it exactly round.
Right. Thinking cap on for me then....I was hoping for a spare part, but I
guess something homegrown is more satisfying.
Cheers!
