When it was decomissioned it was just cut out, so it's missing its
chassis, hinges, controller board, power supplies, vacuum blower, vacuum
pressure limit switches, etc. The cables to the heads are just cut (no
connectors).
So in other words, everything but the tape transport?
My goal is to replace all of the missing controller parts with some SOC
boards (e.g., a Teensy 4.1), ultimately to be able to
use this drive to
read and write tapes. I'd love to reuse the console board as it is.
Good luck. And I mean that sincerely. If starting with what (little) you
have you end up with a working tape drive it will be quite the
accomplishment.
