Cassette Spindle Hub replacements?
Cassette Spindle Hub replacements?
Hello,
Does anyone know where to get spindle hub replacements or even parts that could possibly be rigged into place of a spindle hub?
Thank you!

Sorry should have been clear. I'm actually just looking for any spindle hubs at all. Making an sound/art project. I've been told they are no longer made but cant even find an old stock supply anywhere. Plastic or metal, not sure if there even are metal ones.Drone wrote:The bit on the deck, or the bit on the cassette itself?

Even so, it's still somewhat unclear which part you're looking for.
Do you want
A: the circular thingy inside the cassette that the tape winds around, with the 6 little teeth on the interior opening?
or
B: the pointy thing that's part of the player, that interfaces with said 6 little teeth?

"What fer?"
"Cat fur, to make kitten britches."

Forgot to insert the word "player" in there A spindle hub, (I've been told) is the part inside a cassette player. B: The pointy thing that's part of the player. Are they both called that btw?The Scum wrote:Even so, it's still somewhat unclear which part you're looking for.

Do they have to be able to rotate or just hold a cassette tape?

The previous statement is from a guy who records his own, and other projects for fun. No money is made.
They need to be able to rotate. I saw this as well and got excited for a moment..Drone wrote:Do they have to be able to rotate or just hold a cassette tape?

Sorry, all I have to add is, I love this website. I clicked on tape machines and ran into a ?.Korg Polymoog?

And a touch overpriced for a non-restored one IMHO...
If you can find or make a 3D model of the part you want, I could print it on my 3D printer.

I'll see how the bic pen thing goes, a bit worried about performance so the 3D printed hub is an excellent call! thxThe Scum wrote:I don't know of any source for new ones.
Long ago, the trick to manually winding a tape was to use a Bic pen. They were just the right size.
It might also be a candidate for a 3D printed part.
Love that they wanted it to be made by Korg. Ha!kslight wrote:Sorry, all I have to add is, I love this website. I clicked on tape machines and ran into a ?.Korg Polymoog?

Yea that is a bit overpriced, and I have the better version already
Thanks so much for the offer on the 3D! I'll see if I can get something sorted but It's looking like I probably need a lot of these for this project....
