Need some help with pinch roller
Hi,
I need to put a new pinch roller on my TASCAM 58 tape machine but before doing so, I need to remove the 2 bearings, a spring and something called a "C-Ring" from inside of the pinch roller. I was able to easily remove all of the above but I don't know how to remove the c-ring. What tool do I need and what is the procedure ? I've attached a picture below: http://members.shaw.ca/ftp_pro/pinch.jpg Thank you for your time and help. Daniel |

You can get the proper tool from an auto parts store for about twenty dollars, which makes removing expansion and compression rings a lot easier. You can get a really wonderful special tool from BMW which is intended for getting the clips out when rebuilding clutch and brake cylinders, which I think is just wonderful, especially for getting the clips out of the Ampex 440 idler roller assembly. It's a couple hundred bucks, though. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Is it an off the shelf part, available ? Thanks again guys! Daniel |

Julian It might be Art and yes, Mr Natural is Da Man, but Mr Natural's creator was Robert Crumb. There is a really interesting DVD of someone following him around for a while, rented it from Blockbuster. If you thought Crumb was strange, you ought see his brother and mother. They're like characters in a Warhol movie. By contrast, they make Robert seem normal, which sure is one big stretch. One other thing about Crumb from the DVD: back when he was dirt poor and pretty much nobody he was offered lotsa lotsa dough to sell out his stuff, and he didn't. His fellow cartoonists, his friends back then, are still scratching their heads on his decision. The guy actually lives what he believes. Speaking of moral compasses, anybody else digging Omar on Hbo's The Wire? Omar be Da Man too. David Correia www.Celebrationsound.com |

I can see that someone young enough to have never seen the original material but having heard, perhaps, some of Crumb's music, to corrupt the name to "Art." |

It's called _Crumb_, by his friend Terry Zwigoff, who later made _Ghost World_ and _Bad Santa_. But be forewarned; _Crumb_ is not for the faint of heart; very disturbing. Well worth it, but tough stuff. Much thanks, as always, Chris Hornbeck |

Thanks for making up an excuse for me Mike, but it is just old age. It was many years ago when I last had an excuse to think of Mr Crumb. RRRR and ARRRT do sound a little alike... Julian |

From what I can tell, these are usually easy to find though and come in a box of various sizes. Thanks. |
