Copicat repairs?

**jashin** · 3rd December 2012, 04:13 PM

Can anyone point me in the direction of someone that is able to repair Copicats? I think that that jockey wheel on mine is seized, resulting in the tape not being fed through the mechanism (presumably due to the friction from the non-spinning jockey wheel). Any help much appreciated!

Are you able to unscrew the wheel & give it a clean? Or maybe give it spray with some DW40, prolly build up of years of grime.

If not then this guy is very good http://owenelectronics.co.uk/ Have sent him stuff I have not been able to do myself, fair prices & a quick turnaround.

Thanks for that - WD40 did indeed free up the jockey wheels. Next issue is that the motor doesn't start straight away when the unit is powered up, but does so with a little persuasion...
