I had that problem with the stuck reel hubs. Failed to
take my own
advice-to-self to leave the reels unmounted and they stuck again,
although easier to get off this time as it hadn't
been many years under
pressure.
I ended up covering the rubber hub with black electrical tape. That prevents
it from sticking again.
I had originally written it in a re-targetable
cross-assembler in a
now-outdated development environment under MacOS9.
Last year rewrote someone else's assembler (C
source) - it should work in
any standard C environment.
Was using it to re-assemble HPBASIC.
[...] Can send you the source if you wish.
I'll gladly take the source, that would be very helpful later on.
