Some many years ago now, I organized a group purchase from PIC of
drive belts for the printer and also developed a technique for
re-rubbering the capstan roller in the tape drive. I would
appreciate getting your printer ;)

Not me. I've got one.

That was the problem with much of the HP mechanical hardware. The
rubber composition just didn't last and would eventually decompose
into a sticky mess. For example, this is my reconstructed HP-65 mag
stripe reader drive wheel using a slice of clear vinyl tubing.

Incidentally, the most difficult part of this exercise was neatly
cutting the hose to size. I had to use a razor blade or a scalpel.

The tape drive roller in the HP85 was susceptible to the same rubber
deterioration.

I fixed two using the same clear vinyl tubing trick. Sorry, no
photos.

I don't believe or disbelieve. The OP asked a question. I offered my
contribution.
