Is the wow cyclic? any repeat period could indicate where.
What state the pinch wheel, hard,soft,flatted? can you invert it
,initially before replacing, and see if it makes a difference, also
changing the applied tension by finger pressure.
Are you sure you've removed all the ex-rubber black goo? it is
annoyingly persistent stuff, it could trail in from somewhere unseen


I pretty sure that I've gotten all the goo out. Most had centered on the
motor pulley & the flywheel. As for the "pinch wheel," those are built
into each cartridge. Any idea on how I could remove the E-clip holding
in the flywheel/capstan?


Piece of cotton tied to it and then a dart point or dental sickle probe
