Pinch rollers for cassette decks-new from China

[oldvinyldude]

Hi Cassette deck lovers:

I see a large number of listings on that ‘other’ site, of new pinch rollers for several cassette deck brands. This is a recent proliferation of these replacements.

I suspect its the same maker/seller for these parts.

Has anyone tried these-are they quality parts, or should I avoid them? I see that they have plastic hubs, so they may not last as long as the originals, but as there is no one rebuilding these small parts, and OEM spares non existent, I am curious.

Anyone try them, etc?

Thanks

My originals have plastic hubs, so they look like for like. I ordered a set yesterday, will see in 24-50 days(!) if I wasted my $3. Anything I find locally is just these (sometimes same exact stock photo even), but with impossible markup applied. My finance calculator can't handle the markup margins.

I bought some for an old Sony cassette deck that the pinch rollers were hard and shiny.
After installing them the deck works nicely and it didn't before replacement.
IMHO it is worth it.
