Good job. Awesome video. Thank you

[@michaeljinks1312]

Got a pair of hubs from tascam ninja. Fixed old wobbly issue. On my machine , with the set screw all the way down on shaft flat spot , my reel bed was 1.5 mm to high. had new hubs milled down 1.5mm on reel bed end and was able to get back good as new.

Best vid on youtube!

[@germymkord]

Juan, thanks for stopping by. Hope this vid helps

[@kellypeterson2625]

Very cool

[@ComradNoFucksGivin.]

I had to get those parts machined from scratch. I remember I was very perplexed about such a high end device having parts made out of what I assumed was very low grade pot metal.

[@germymkord]

Yes sir, it is the same parts/procedure for MSR-16

[@joeoakes7993]

Thanks!!

no prob. hope it helped you

[@losthighway84]

Thank you so much for making this video! Definitely could not save my TSR-8 without this info. Do you have a link to the Dominican eBayer selling the fabricated bushings?

[@germymkord]

Glad the video is helping. Yes, the Dominican seller actually has a bushing right now, but it's the 3340. Just cut the tip off and it will work fine. The machined aluminum TSR-8 custom bushings are very rare, I only found that one. Hopefully someone will machine more soon. The ebay seller is "treasuresforparts"
