Otari MX5050 series (due to the exceptional 'length' of the
Otari MX5050 reel spindles, these fit particularly 'snug' which
can be a good thing from a security standpoint, but requires
more effort to attach and remove. They're what I use on my
MX5050. They can be utilized with 7" reels, or to hold NAB hubs
that do not 'clamp' on as well), Panasonic, Pioneer QT-74 / QT-6100 / QT-6600 / T-600 / T-6000 / T-6100,

work well on following Sony models such as the Sony TC-366, TC-377,
TC-377-4, TC-560 / 560D, and likely others. Those need the ‘Sony
specific’ reel holders. If your Sony has a ‘Philips’ screw head in the
center / tip of the reel spindle, then you need the ones that were made
specifically for those Sony models and NOT these*, Tandberg models, 3BF, 4BF, Model

TEAC models. and other
reel-reel tape decks that have standard reel spindles. Easy and
quick to take on and off.
Old, originals are invariable going to be 'slick' and / or have enlarged
holes that will not grip the spindle safely / sufficiently anymore.
We know, as we have dozens of originals (a few of which are shown above),
none of which work well enough to use / trust anymore. Our new / fresh
ones are great to replace your old, dried out / cracked or lost ones.
As these are individually,
'hand made' at our shop, they will have slight variances one
from the other and from photos in 'cosmetics / finish'.
They will not likely be 'perfect' cosmetically. If you're
looking for "cosmetic perfection", then these won't likely be to
your standards, however, they will FUNCTION "PERFECTLY" on most
machines.
These are new rubber and will grip well.

* Still best to use Sony
decks in horizontal mode unless you have the original Sony Rubber
clamps
as they are slightly different w/ a 'wire' clip
imbedded inside rubber. These stoppers will work with Sony's
when used in horizontal position or 'tilted back at an
angle' and if you're
'attentive' while operating the deck, in the 'vertical' position as well.
These are new rubber and will grip well.
No, they're not simply the 'hardware store supply' stoppers.
Those are NOT the correct rubber consistency to modify, the correct
overall diameter, nor would the hole
diameter be correct, nor 'run-out free'.
If
your Sony has a ‘Philips’ screw head in the center / tip of the reel
spindle, then you need the ones that were made specifically for those
Sony models, then it's still best to use Sony
decks in horizontal mode unless you have the original Sony Rubber
clamps
as they are slightly different w/ a 'wire' clip
imbedded inside rubber. Again, the indicator that your deck needs these
is a Philips screw in the center / tip of the spindle. These stoppers will work with Sony's
when used in horizontal position and if you're
'attentive' while operating the deck, in the 'vertical' position as well.
Unfortunately the 'original'
reel stoppers are no longer available for any of the tape deck
manufacturers. These are units that we make here at our shop.
While functionally, they work perfectly, cosmetically they will
not be 'perfect', nor a 'beautiful' as the originals were.
They're what we ship with our restored decks as well
The 'Additional'**
pair at the discounted price will be our 'cosmetic blems' and /
or will have a bit more 'wobble / run-out', but again, will be
functional.
