    I recently acquired a wm-2 that I'm trying to bring back to life. I'll be posting again real soon for some troubleshooting advice on a another issue, but this puppy desperately needs a new pinch roller. Anybody know what size it should be? I can't find the info anywhere, and the current one is swollen and not representative of what the size really should be.

    Is this the same as some of the other DDs?

    Thanks in advance for the assistance.

    Can you measure the diameter of your bad pinchroller? And take a photo of it to see if it needs a center pin. I have a few unsalveageable Walkmans and will mail to you if something fits

    20170922_153025.jpg 20170922_154334.jpg I took some measurements though I can't be certain how close they match original spec, and here's what I got.

    9mm diameter
    2.5mm rubber height
    4mm hole diameter
    5mm hub height

    I don't think I should need the center plastic or pin as those seem fine.

    Thanks!
