[CAUT] Capstan Repositioning

[Jon Page]

If you don't want to wait overnight for the epoxy to cure, while 
you're swabbing
up the tacky residue, to drill your new capstan holes there is another method.

Get a 1/4" x 1"  Irwin Plug Cutter (available at most hardware stores).
Cut plugs from old keys. Scribe a line on the top (before drilling) 
to index the 'bottom'
of the plug.

Drill out the old capstan hole to 1/4" and insert the plugs. A tubing 
sleeve may be needed
if the plugs are flexible to press them in. Swab the hole and plug 
with an appropriate amount
PVC-E glue, anything harder will cause the drill bit to drift...% like epoxy %?

By the time you're done, you can start from the beginning to drill 
new capstan locations.

4 to 6 hours total time, from removing to capstan re-installation, 
instead of two days.
(Not counting plug-cutting time which is done during odd time periods).
