Still having a problem sealing an Ampico A take up spool.

Can anyone give me explicit instructions on what was used to get this thing (sucker) to seal ?

How can you tell if the spool has seen its better days ?

On the replay setting, it seems both sides of the bellows wants to be activated at the same time. What is possibly 
wrong? I'm thinking, something in the valve block ?

Oh yeah, this last service call, I found the drive/reroll chain off and partially wrapped around the front gear. How is 
that possible ?

P.S. The owner is driving me nuts !

TIA, Duaine
