Hi Paul,
the FILE PROT and 1600 BPI are not switches, just indicators.
They look like push buttons though.
I hope you can find that TU45 spares kit.
I have a TU45 for at least 3 years now, but haven't powered-up yet ...
thanks,

Hi Henk,
I'm not sure about the switch covers, but I have 20- 30 field service
spares kits and I think one was for a TU45. I'll look in there when I
find it.
Thanks, Paul
Hi Paul,
I know this will not help you getting rid of the big piles,
but I am still looking for the FILE PROT indicator and the
1600 BPI indicator of the TU45 tape drive.
Those are the bottom two "squares" on the control panel at
the top left side of the TU45 tape drive.
If anybody has a smashed or defective TU45, and the FILE PROT
and/or 1600 BPI indicator is still intact, or have them in a
drawer, I am willing to pay some money for it/them!
thanks,
- Henk, PA8PDP
