[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 965544, member: 325666"] Having had no success finding a new pinch roller ..I turned my attention to restoring the original as best I could .. The metalic surface of many tapes over the years had seriously impregnated the rubber drive surface .. So ..the pinch roller was removed from the VCR and fully immersed in ISO Alcohol for 2 days ..then scrubbed gently with a stiff toothbrush and paper towels.. The result was not perfect ..but the improvement was dramatic.. I have so far played 5 x L-750 betamax tapes through without any sign of looping , bunching or creasing of the tape. Customer has been warned that this is not a pukka cure ..but that it may well serve to do his transfers if treated with respect. Hes happy and Im happy ...and £30 better off.. :D [/QUOTE]
