I needed new pinch rollers for one of my CTF 1000 and the rebuilt pair on the other CTF 1000 had developed a hair line crack. Both decks fully restored and play well but they had the low torque issues. I went for the new complete pinch rollers on eBay, yes new brass bushings too. I had to lower the take upside roller spring tension, but it worked out well. The take up torque is a little over spec now, but the decks have played anything tape I put in them, even the tapes I used to have to bake. There is one lower notch on the spring tension, I think I'll leave them as they are .
