Default Re: Ferrograph series 7

As llama says RUBBER . Before trying it ,check the three idlers and the pinch wheel as they will most likely have dissolved into goo and need replacing
Also you will need to clean the mechanism which comes into contact with the idlers .
Idlers from the older type Ferrographs can sometimes be obtained from eBay sellers .
A replacement pinch wheel is difficult to obtain although I did manage to get one many years ago from a reel recorder restorer. Hope that helps .
