Is that PEX tubing you are referring to Jay?
Any one have ideas for a TU10 or other tape drive capstans?

reasonable O.D. size (IIRC). Worked great.
I don't know that the diameter is absolutely critical - I think it has
some kind of speed encoding.

Dear List
While the silk screeners process the panels I have a
couple of days for a little project
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.!!!
I know this issue has been addressed before.
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
A UK source would be nice,
