I have noticed on several occasions that the Pinch Rollers turn soft in decks like the 246 where others do not. Now I see I have one in a 234 so I measured the size of just the roller and they seem to have them at Marian's site - https://fixyouraudio.com/product/pinch-roller-13-5-x-8-x-2-mm-for-cassette-players/
Once I get one I will try it but other than a plastic bearing where a metal one was they seem to be the same. The metal bearing roller can be sent to Terry but he does not take any plastic ones.
This is basically an advisement so others can order the part when needed. You need to take the roller off the assembly by knocking out the 2mm pin with a bit and I have it on a vise for a surface. When I get my new ones and do some tests, I will report how they work. They are coming from Slovakia so with mail one might have to be patient.
