Will do. I have a torque meter test tape to help dial in the needed torque.
Thank you, Valentin, for pointing me in the correct direction. I will focus on the spring. I will attempt to remanufacture from a guitar high E...
Very impressive indeed, Alex. Thanks for sharing. Gives me inspiration to try something like this in the future.
Hi Valentin. Thank you for your reply. The symptom is very low take-up torque, not enough to pull the tape causing it to wrap around the...
Hello Folks. I'm trying to get some new ideas on how to replace that felt/fiber friction washer that places a drag on the take-up reel. I do not...
Well, you get kudos for a tough repair. From the picture, one would never guess the key was broken at some point. It's been a few months since...
