Re: tape spares
As Mikelec says, Canford still make NEAL decks for legal circles (not the general public) so should be able to supply.

Re: tape spares
It depends on which NEALs you want to fix - the early machines (prior to the 300 series) used a Wollensak (3M) deck, which had a pinch wheel with a very thin and hygroscopic tyre. Given the wide application of this deck,, one would assume that somebody, somewhere, either has stock or can refurbish?

Re: tape spares
I would guess that
http://www.terrysrubberrollers.com/ would be a good place to start looking for refurbished rollers. James. |
