Alright, here´s another one. Two years ago I got myself one of these very rare Apple Tape Backup 40SC drives. Took it home, powered it up, inserted a tape - complete breakdown! The plastic / rubber transport head / roll of that drive has got liquid within milliseconds ruining the tape. After that I contacted TDK and the maker of the transport roll (some company in Japan) but never got an answer.

Now I´m trying to repair this one myself by looking for an adequate roll / head (the rest of the drive seems to be ok). Does anyone in here has the slightest glimpse of what exchange material might be useful?

Thanks for any information
