Its been a while since I've seen the inside of a cassett drive.

But memory tells me you have a pinch roller with pin shaft that governs
the actual speed.

And I have long thought that with the small diameter of the capstan it
must be the availability of excellent, and cheap, bearings for the shaft
that made it possible to keep the wow and flutter down to acceptable
levels...
