Card Reader HP 82104A Melting Roller Message #1 Posted by Robert Pietersma on 3 Nov 2002, 11:06 a.m. Suddenly while reading cards, the tranfer just got stuck. After pulling out the card I observed a kind of glew on the card. The card reader was 20 Years old so I took the thing apart and found out that the transport roller had been dematerialized. Taking out the roller is really not too difficult but where can I get replacement. I just bought a never-used-second-hand reader but after putting through some cards I observed exactly the same problem. Who can help me out of this desparate situation.

Another solution Message #4 Posted by Mike on 3 Nov 2002, 12:05 p.m., in response to message #1 by Robert Pietersma Another solution, is to use fuel line tubing. Costs less than 10 cents per fix. Fuel line is available at model hobby shops almost everywhere. This article shows how to repair the 67 but the same material works for the 41 reader. HP-67 Card Reader Repair The one that is best is a matter of preference. I like the fact that there is more surface contact with the tubing on the card and shaft, is nearly identical to the original and is the exact size required. I have fixed nearly 100 readers using this solution and it works great.
