I'm the one that posted maybe ten years ago about
using Tygon Vinyl
to repair the gooey rollers of TU-58 drives. I can say for a fact
that those drives so repaired still work fine. The only problem
I've found over time is flat spotting if the tape is left in place.
Even if it did harden in say five years.. a foot of that is enough
to fix a few dozen drives easily and it's widely available in both
thick and thin wall types.
I'll second that - I've refurbishd several drives over the years...
the vinyl tubing works great!
