Looks like direct reply failed so I'm posting to the list:
Can you hold on to this one for a day or two? I assume it's working.
Also are any peripherals included?

Ooo...TU58 tapes, for/from an 11/750! Are these by any chance the
various diagnostic and maintenance tapes, i.e. BD-xxxxx-DE numbers?
Finding images of that whole 11/750 series has so far been unfruitful
for me, and, as it turns out, I'm just about ready (finally, after
nearly two years of infrequent fiddling with faulty power supplies) to
fire up my 11/750 for the first time. I'd think it would be A Good
Thing to have those tapes for checking everything out. If those tapes
are indeed the diagnostics, I'm up for assisting in getting them imaged.
So far I have been able to gather (with the gracious help of Barry M.)
tapes: 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,17,20,33,41,33,44 and 51. I'd like to fill the
gaps and will happily put my functioning TU58 drive to work getting more
images if that is possible.
Also, I'm looking for some blank/scratch TU58 tapes if anyone has some
gathering dust. Happy to cover shipping, etc.
Many thanks.
