The O ring on my TS-11 ....
I take it that you talk about the write protect ring on the back of the tape
itself.
Nope nope nope - like the Kennedy 9xxx series - the TS11 uses a
large-ish neoprene o-ring, that is compressed in a slot by the action of
the locking-lever... this o-ring expands into the inner area of the reel
hub and wedges it to the locking hub.
O-rings are very common at most larger auto-parts places (NAPA,
AutoZone, Kragen, etc) - all you need is it's diameter and it should be
easy to replace. Also, taking the hub is really easy - on my Kennedys,
the assembly screw is under the locking lever, removong it allows the
whole thing to comemoff and then you can R/R the o-ring.
Cheers
