Replacement "pick" roller for card reader

I talked to several chemical engineers about "gooey" roller and they both said that once the polymer chains relax, there is no going back. As I recall, they mentioned ozone and sun light being bad. I've had good luck fixing tape drives with "rubber" hose used for food processing equipment. I don't think I used Neoprene - I think it was "Tygone". There are lots of varieties. You might try R-1000 ultra soft or even silicon tubing. I believe I ordered from U. S. Plastics. The tubing I go was not clear. It was soft and yellow/pinkish in color. Very easy to cut, very rubbery. The trick was getting a small amount. I had to buy 10'. But I was able to find one with an I.D. which matched the shaft and O.D. which matched the original. If you can, measure the original with a micrometer. -brad
