Fostex R8 metal tension arm rod shaft Used in the A8 and

Used in the A8 and maybe some earlier/later models that can be undone easily with the two set screws at the back

some (like me) use a pinch roller with a 400 grit on and then a finer one and run the machine a while

You often see DA38s here go for 30-40 pounds for spares and repairs but of course you dont know whats wrong with it you may end

Used i the 112 but this display is used a lot in Teac and Tascam equipment have listed like this as easier to find by the model number
