Akai GX-4000D Spindle (Reel) Table Tires

Unspecified Life Form
I have an Akai GX-4000D Reel to Reel on the bench. It has all the original rubber inside. So.... You can assume that after 40 plus years, it's time for new rubber! I have located the capstan belt, the counter belt and the pinch roller. So far, I can't find the Spindle (Reel) Table Tires. The manual calls out part number MT306237. Does anyone have a lead on these? :D:D

Those were made out of pretty tough rubber. Are they dried, cracked or gooey? If in excellent shape, try a rubber rejuvenator. Or you could send them to Terry's rubber rollers. He'll rebuld them to new.
 
They are cracking. Do you think Terry would do these tires?
His site only shows pinch rollers.

:D:)
