I have a TASCAM 52-NB machine I used to use for half-track masters. I haven't used it in five years and when I unpacked it for inspection I noticed corrosion has formed on the two tape guides that are attached to the head stack plate.

Where in the world would I find two replacement tape guides for this old of a machine?

Failing that, does anyone know how these are removed from the head stack plate so I can have them turned and polished? I do not have a manual for this machine like I do for my tracking machine.

This was a pristine machine until I saw this corrosion this morning.
