Hi Buddy:

Excellent info from Larry and Chris.  I can add a suggestion to what Chris said about alignment.  I tighten the screws just to the point that the yoke will still move with some resistance.  Then manually press it against the capstan by applying pressure to the arm.  This will "seat" the roller against the capstan by positioning the yoke so the roller is perfectly aligned with the capstan.  Then release the arm and fully tighten the screws.  The yolk can move when tightened, so be sure to check the alignment again, and be certain to do it by hand, not by actuating the machine.  When you engage it by hand and use the light as Chris suggested, you can see if it is perfect or not.  If you engage the machine, the greater pressure exerted by the solenoid can compress the roller and hide the misalignment.
