Subject: Re: BA123 Side panels and Stuck TK50
I've bought a pile of drives recently, and may have one that you can
scavenge. However I think mine may be TK-70's though.
Actually mine was a TK70, I *think* the leader is the same in both drives in
any case. If you have a spare that would be nice, but I think I may have a
spare tucked away somewhere anyway. My query was really about whether it was
possible to repair the tear, because one for the tip is not completely torn
off.
We never repaired them at work, not least because the official DEC
guidelines said not to. Spare parts were cheap so it was a quick fix to
remove the cartridge and replace the leader.
