Triac cassette part 3

Fat Harry · Post by **Fat Harry** » Mon 25 Sep , 2006 12:22 pm

We have now stripped down the cassette unit & think we've found the problem.
There is a white rubber washer on the pinch wheel which has perished, hardened & no longer grips.
The washer is white 24 o/d 17.5 i/d & 1.75 thick.
Anyone got any ideas where such a thing might be obtainable ?
Cheers .

Maybe plumbing supplies, though you'll probably have to do some sort of rework
p.s. they probably won't be white

Would it be possible to use a bit of heatshrink ?

Cheers

Hi
Just curious as to why you want to use the cassette so badly?

Its very simple to load programmes from an old PC. If you don't want to get into CAD etc, you can simply type the code into windows notepad and send to the machine with the Industrial Text Editor programme (very basic). Save all the files you ever do ready for reloading whenever you want. Its much easier then programming at the machine because you can delete, edit, cut and paste, etc.

Regards
Matt

Bit catch 22 Matt, all our progs are on tape & unless we can recover them they will all have to be re-written. Also as of yet we have not been successful connecting our Triac to a pc !

Did you check the classified section ?
This guy says he has a re-conditioned tape unit for sale:

Hi,
Not a cassette unit I am afraid, that didn't work so eventually went in the bin. I do have a brand new cassette from NE controls though. This cost me over £50!!!!! £25 would be nice but no reasonable offer refused now.
