Restoring a pinch roller with rubber renew

Using Rubber renew to restore an old obsolete pinch roller. It works!

[@fickfehler3866]

A much better way to restore life into the pinch roller is mount it on a drill, and gently apply 1000 grit while it's turning. After again while turning with a drill apply min 90% isopropyl with a cutip and then apply this chemical.

your reflection off the brown bottle is how police forensics catch thieves in liquor stores ! From what I see you're 5'11 & 240 lbs. Around 50 yrs old, with a 43" waist.

A close friend who was an experienced electronics repairman ( Actually, he could fix about anything electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and whatnot, a true high priest of the Machine God) always jokingly insisted that only cleaners, lubricants, solvents, etc. that definitely caused cancer, birth defects and laid waste to the world around us were the only ones that actually worked. When I saw the title of the video, I remembered a bottle at the shop that was labeled Video Renew and wondered if this was maybe the same thing.

Whoa, that pinch roller was in pretty bad shape.

"Keep container tightly closed" is the ultimate safety precaution. "Your honor, my client was instantly killed when he used the substance that the defendant makes available". "Your client either didn't read, or ignored the safety precautions by opening the bottle. Case dismissed!"

What a load of rubbish. Where's the sense of adventure? Not that poisonous at all. Over half the warnings apply to water and oxygen. That must be the first and last time Dave used that stuff with rubber gloves. People worry about such warnings disproportionately as most people cannot correctly or logically evaluate risk.

Every thing we use causes Cancer, as every thing one uses has all kinds of Precautions on the label Seems every thing we use is bad in one way or another, Same thing goes even for the most harmless stuff, just depends on how it is used or where it's from. Seems we all take risk every day with what we use,.. Follow all directions but this surprises me that this stuff has so many precautions, just where can one use that safely,.. but hope all goes well and it works..

Hello and can you please tell me the name of the artist and the song on that tape?

It's a great feeling to get a project a long waited revival.

Thanks for posting this stuff it’s very informative and I have picked up many tips on fixing my reels and getting them back to working condition because they’re the best and coolest items from way back in our days. Lol 👍👍

The company that makes this item which is MG Chemicals states specifically that it should not be used on a pinch roller.

Nice to see such good machine back in shape.

This is a kind of special pinchroller made of two different rubber type. The outside rubber is different from the rubber that will go in contact with the tape. You can see this by yourself just watching closer to the pinchroller. That pinchroller are gone, nothing can fix it. Anyway thankyou for sharing this interesting video.

How do u get ur reels not to fall off, my rubber grommets won’t hold the tape

[@roncheaters]

Those are beautiful machine's..

[@reminder_cor]

I repaired something similar, but totally cracked, glueing a new rubber strip with contact glue. A small gap results but it works properly.

American Recorder Technologies S-721H-4 Cleaner Fluid is apparently what's recommended for tape heads, capstans and pinch rollers.
