i must admit - if it had a) been one of the "Westman" i don't have and b) it was starting at one €, i might have gone for it
I actually dig the grunge aesthetic of that... thing. It's like looking at a black box from the Apollo Program >u<
in fact now that i have a further look it is the same movement as in the Westman - but i'm f***ed if i'm gonna buy this...
@autoreverser what do you mean Westman? I like that, eh, thing... but also would have to undertake the procedure you just mentioned before paying for it

Wow! For weeks now I am struggling with just one Aiwa of that vintage. It hurts me to think about your efforts of keeping them "Westmans" running
Here is The Beast giving me a real hard time: new belt from Miriam, then full recap, then adorned with my favorite cartoon character... only to realize that it does not lock into Rec mode! I do not care if it records off its mic (who does?!) but now I have to open it again! Oh, and here is my latest toy, Audio Desk Systeme CD Lathe: Snake Oil Gizmo which proved itself as a Real Thing: badly eccentric CDs, not playable on my Wadia 781, got fixed by this thing!! Circumcision for CDs does work Painting the edges with Magic Green Marker is my next step into Gizmology, but for now I am preoccupied with a bunch of Panasonic RQ-S and RQ-SX Walkmans. Where do you get new pinchrollers for Panasonic Walkmans??? @mihokm has one for Sony, but what about Panasonics?! Help!!!
Wow! @autoreverser you show some serious levels of self-restraint!!! I always "dig in" until it is fixed or totally broken
Jorge, have you looked into Terry's? I have some old R2R's with flat rollers and found these guys years ago. I've never used them so I don't know how good the service is. http://www.terrysrubberrollers.com/ Nice player by the way, I've got a nice old Technics Turntable that would match those stickers nicely.
