Probably the proverbial hen's teeth.
I sorted the hardened belt problem but the ?% wow persists. I first want to try replacing the pinch rollers as cleaning and a slight re-grind to remove glazing didn't help.
If one exerts very little pressure of the pinch rollers against the tape, the sound becomes 'normal'.
I wonder if pinch rollers of different brands of deck are the same dia? Or the shaft diameter?
If the o/d's are the same and the shaft diameters differ, I may be able to re-sleeve.
I saw a pr of rollers and 2 belts on the 'bay from a German source but the price appears to be US$75...
