Default Re: Grundig TK 819 Any Useful Info

Got a few ideas what to try/use for the centrifugal pushrod cap, but initially for short term going to try a short length of biro ink tube (empty of ink of course). Tried 3 biro pen tubes and only 1 of them was tight enough to be a tight fit on the pushrod.

It may not be ideal as the end is open and possibly it may get pushed down the pushrod shaft when shaft is extended and possibly expose the metal end, some soon to do tests will indicate how it may perform.

Image attachment shows a TK 830 where the white cap can just be seen on the capstan shaft tip.
