I would appreciate it if someone with a TEAC Reel to Reel would measure the size of the rubber reel holders. Width, Height, & Diameter of the hole. Thanks!

I have a couple of sets and will take measurements in the morning and post, if no one else beats me to it. I have a nice digital caliper; assuming you want the measurements in mm's, right?

If you have a means to reproduce these, I would certainly be interested in a set or two.
 
I appreciate it. I'm going to get a price on reproducing them and find out what the minimum quantity is. Hopefully it won't be too large and I can find enough folks with use for them to make it practical.
 
I'm going downstairs to measure them right now. If you'll send me your email address, I can even send you pictures. Sorry for the delay.

Update: I have two types - one is definitely Teac from my 6010 / 4010 machines: 38.7 mm diameter,size of holder, 7.9 - 8.0 mm diameter for the hole. This one is shaped like a hockey puck and has "teac" on the top side.

The other one, I believe is may be a teac also, has a protruding handle: 40.5 mm diameter, same for the hole. I can send pics of both if you'll PM your email.

Hope this helps or let me know if you need other measurements.

I would definitely be interested in one or more sets if you reproduce them. I have used various techniques such as "sleeving" my old ones when the hole becomes enlarged with age and the rubber hardens.

A generic chunk of rubber at a hardware store with a drilled hole works. I used door stops. Pinball machines also have a similar part(bumper stops?) that can be purchased.
