This is a long shot but what the hey.
As per the title line, I'm trying to find either a Realistic SC T30 cassette deck or a Hitachi D850. They're both supposed to be the same thing. I'm mainly looking for pinch rollers and the brackets that mount them.
I got a real nice (cosmetically) Realistic SC T30 that was in need of repairs which were beyond what I wished to attempt. I can cope with reel to reel and 8 track decks but the mechanical parts of a cassette deck are too fiddle-ingly small. Took it to a local shop who repair vintage stuff for an estimate and when I could afford it, took it back for repairs. Was told then they could no longer complete repair because the pinch roller they intended to use was gone.
Took the deck elsewhere and told that tech that if it did in fact need one, I would send the pinch roller to Terry's for either repair or to copy but when he got inside, one pinch roller was missing. The first shop told me their tech said he may have removed it but could not remember. In any event, I am missing a pinch roller so if anyone has either of these two decks working or not or their pinch rollers & brackets, let me know.
