	BJ (WB5PKD) and I have recently acquired a Ampex studio Reel to
Reel tape recorder Model AG-440-2 (two track .25 in)
http://recordist.com/ampex/docs/apxbrochures/ag440/ag-440.pdf and the
pinch roller rubber has turned to GOO.  There is a replacement available
for $85.00.  I though I would have a heart attack!  So we decided that
we might try to remold, recap, or otherwise make a big mess in the
kitchen trying to rebuild this pinch roller.  Any body got any ideas as
to where to start and most important is there any liquid rubber or
synthetic that we should look for.
