Hi Every one talks about recapping but no one tells where you can get the capacitors , resistors and diodes. I have only been able to find one capacitor from radio shack. It is the big blue on for the control b board. can't even find the motor run capacitors. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Kim JOk my 909 restore is moving along . All the mechanical and recapping is done. The heads assy is back from JRF and needs to installed. I went over budget, but I had to make some decisions. 1. the upper ball joints were missing ,replaced .2. My playback heads were shot ,replaced with good used (relapped, edged slots , polished and aligned). JRF is a good company they did a nice job and explained everything to me.They also give you all the test reports of your heads. The screws are very soft some heads were already stripped out (capstan motor mount) some were just so tight they stripped. Ace hardware had all but one size (2.6x5mm)which a found at a RC cars hobby shop. I did re flow some solider joints(pre amp) but not all, there were to many IC's and really close joints. I thought I might do more harm then good. Well I will know soon if I have a very expensive paper weight .

Those look like 2 out of 3 screw assemblies that hold the flanges to the hub of a metal 10" reel. They are not part of the pinch rollers.
