    Hello, I have problem with my GF-6060 with capstan rubber.After so many years the rubber has decomposed and has to be replaced .Does anyone have any idea with what can be replaced?Friction is for replacement too, I found new one.
    I attached a picture of mechanism and capstan.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have read about people using Model Aircraft Fuel line to replace the narrow rubber part but haven't tried it myself.

    Hopefully someone else can give more details.

    Hi, I replace the capstan rubber with either little beads or rc fuel line. Took a few goes to find the right size but from memory its 5.5mm orange.
