This Site was hacked into a couple years ago. I have most of it back, but there are still a few problems.
If you find a problem on this site, please let me know where.
============================================
Before
we get too serious about roller repair, it appears there have been a
few
email problems. Its not exactally known where or
with whom
the
problem originates, but several customers have made the same comments
with
their own emails. I get many emails,
a few I don't, most
people
get mine and a few don't. Some emails get returned as
undeliverable.
I just want it known, I am still in
business, and
plan
to be for a long time. My address is on the order form
which
can be downloaded by clicking on the link below.
All I can say is just keep trying to
email
me. Sorry for any inconvience.

If you go to Ebay, you can buy these
little rings of rubber made to glue onto
your old pinch roller hub and fix the roller yourself.
Just so you know, I have never used these and I never will. I
have my own rubber
blend that I've used for over 15 years and it works great. After
the rubber is bonded to
your hub, I then put your roller on my lathe using an arbor that
is
perfectly centered
to machine your roller to specific diameter and width/thickness.

player, 8 track player, cassette deck, or just need a roller rebuilt,

The big idler debate
Does idler size (diameter) affect the
final speed????
This applies to a single tire idler only.
If your having a speed issue with your
machine, and you think
its the idler size
(diameter) causing the problem, below are links to
other
sites where experts discuss and explain this in detail.

What to
use for cleaning pinch
rollers and other rubber items
This is for new rubber and will not fix old hard or gooey rubber.
Many people ask me what to clean their pinch
rollers with. I
wish I had a good super secret
formula I used and could tell you
about, but I don't. I see daily and hear what chemicals
do
to
rubber, and it isn't good. Sooner or later the rubber will be
ruined.
Some types of
rubber dry out, crack, and get hard,
while others
get
soft and gooey.
My advise and its only my opinion, and
I know this doesn't
clean as good as some high octane
chemicals, but I suggest just
plain
old dish soap and water, then rinse good.
Sorry, thats about it.
=======================================================================
Turn around time from
Oct. thru May
(Winter months) is usually 3 to 6 days from time of receipt.
Due
to a few vacations, at times, turn around times may be 2 weeks or more
from
June thru Oct.
I suggest emailing me before sending your
rollers. Generally speaking ,
business
will not be interrupted.
