A77 Mk1 Tape guides
Can they be changed out for bearings ? If so how so the come off . I know there is a screw at the back of them but the front is just slipping , is there a trick to it ?
Thanks David |

Re: A77 Mk1 Tape guides
Firstly, don't put a roller on the right - the friction of tape against the fixed guide surface filters some of the residual 50Hz pulsing of the take-up motor. To fit a roller to the left, you will need Mk2 or later end-caps and bolts - and don't forget the washers top and bottom. If you can grip the brass cap, the screw should release. Alternatively, a pin spanner in the dimples in the guide cap may give enough purchase to release it.

Thanks Ted , I have some Mk 3 ones . There are no " dimples" in these bolts but if that`s all that`s required I`ll get it out .
