Common mistakes to avoid
- Losing the tiny C-clip or washer that retains the roller — work over a tray and keep the removal order noted.
- Not cleaning the capstan shaft while you're in there — a dirty capstan chews up a new roller quickly.
- Bending the pinch roller arm when levering the old roller off — support the arm, press only on the roller hub.
- Touching the new rubber surface with bare fingers before first use.
After installation, run a cassette for a minute and watch the tape path: the tape should run centred without curling at the roller edges. If it curls, the roller isn't seated square on its shaft.
