Product details
In use, these idler rollers revive a worn cassette player. Over time, the original rubber roller hardens, deforms, or sticks: the tape runs poorly, the sound trembles, or the cassette gets swallowed. These replacement rollers, made of flexible rubber/silicone, restore constant pressure of the tape against the capstan, ensuring smooth playback. Several sizes (references A to S) cover different mechanisms of tape recorders, car radios, and VCRs: they are identified by their three dimensions (outer diameter, inner diameter, and width). Sold in packs of 5. A repair within the reach of a DIY enthusiast. No more slipping tape, enjoy stable playback, provided you measure the correct dimensions.
Compatibility and uses
These rubber/silicone idler rollers replace the hardened original roller of a cassette player: tape recorder, car radio, VCR, receiver, or cassette amplifier. Several sizes are offered (references A to S), defined by three dimensions: outer diameter, inner diameter (axle), and width (for example, 6 / 5.5 / 1.35 mm for size A). Measure the original roller or its location, then select the exact size (A to S). Sold in packs of 5. Removal and installation should be entrusted to a careful DIY enthusiast.
