PINCH ROLLER TYRE

for TEAC / TASCAM

 

 

Welcome to Fox Stylus and Turntable Parts!

·      Please read Postage / Shipping / Order information below.

 

 

Brand new pinch roller tyre (tire) to suit Teac, Tascam and Realistic open reel tape machines as described below.

 

Restore your old, worn, or deteriorated roller to ensure your machine is performing at its best.

 

New stock, rubber is fresh.

 

Genuine PRB manufactured part. I import them in bulk and package individually to help keep the price low.

 

PRB Part number is “ST-TEAC-PR3”

10.0mm / 0.3937”

7.8mm / 0.305”

 

Notes:

The original roller design for these models uses a 12.93mm / 0.509” cross-section hub similar to that used in many other Teac / Tascam models, but with the tyre machined for a narrower 10mm cross-section at the outer edge. If you compare your original roller, this will make sense.

 

This replacement tyre has the same cross-section of 10mm down to the hub, and thus when mounted on the hub it should be centered with equal clearance both sides.

 

This tyre is essentially the same as PRB tyre “ST-TEAC”, just with a narrower cross-section to suit the requirements of the models below.

 

 

 

Suitable for the following Teac and Tascam and Realistic models:

Tyre replacement is a straightforward DIY job.

You will need:

·      A sharp knife, such as a Stanley knife or craft knife

·      Acetone or other suitable solvent cleaner

·      Cleaning cloth such as an old piece of towel

·      Suitable gloves (acetone proof)

·      Dishwashing detergent

·      Small amount of oil to lubricate on reassembly

 

1.     Remove the old roller from your machine

2.     Using the knife, cut away as much of the old rubber as you can from the metal hub

3.     Using a solvent such as acetone, clean any remaining remnants of rubber away from the hub. Always work in a well ventilated area when working with acetone, and wear suitable gloves. Take some time to ensure that the metal surface of the hub is perfectly clean and ‘silver’ before moving to the next step.

4.     Immerse both the metal hub and the new rubber tyre in to some water with a little dishwashing detergent mixed in. This will assist the tyre to slide in to place, without binding and causing lateral tension

5.     Place the hub horizontally on a flat surface, and press the tyre smoothly but firmly down on to the hub. Make sure to centre the tyre on the hub, for equal clearance on both sides.

6.     Dry the outside with a clean cotton cloth, or allow to air dry. Reinstall on machine, oiling shaft lightly.
