saw the piece on Ferrograph pinch rollers, why dont you use Teac pinch rollers, same thing, only the hole for the spindle needs re-dilling, I have in my collection quite a lot of these machines, plus other makes, plus spares, hope the information is of use, dont turn a Ferrograph on, and it dies, the rubbers fall to pieces, turn them on once a week, and they live for ever, dont know why this happens, anyway, best wishes, Tom Boyle

The pinch rollers that Geoff Kremer at ServiceSound (www.servicesound.com) sells (£20 + P&P) are these TEAC ones from an old stock in Japan. He gets them machined over here. They are an exact replacement, and take about a minute to fit. They might seem pricey, but it would be all too easy to machine the hole just a little too big!

Servicesound is good though Geoff has told me that they do not go into the Super or Logic seven without an extra pin (as found in the series 7 machines) I have brought a few of these rollers and they work bery well, without the pin, the rollers tend to rub against the metal caps of the logic seven.
