Default Does anybody in the UK re-rubber pinch rollers?

I could do with having the pinch roller on an old video deck re-rubbered. Does anybody in the UK offer this service?

Terry's Rubber Rollers in the USA is still going, but Terry has only just re-opened on a part-time basis after suffering Covid and pneumonia, and he's not able to provide any estimates for how long it'll take him to turn any work around - it's just a case of he'll get round to it when he gets round to it.

Wagner Australia still list lots of VCR spare parts.

I have only used them once, but they supplied a replacement audio head and pinch roller exactly as described.

Someone must do as rubber coated 'nip' rollers are used in the printing and packaging industry for feeding films and foils into machines at accurate rates, and I know they have to be re-rubbered from time to time. I'll ask the relevant authority....

Not UK but a bit closer to home - Svalander Audio in Sweden can renovate them. I've not used them myself but have heard good reports.

I could have sworn they used to have an English version of their website but it appears to be only in Swedish now - you may need to invoke Google Translate!
