I just spotted this; not sure how it got buried in my inbox. Adrian,
that's definitely a tension-arm drive.
Be careful of that upper right metal roller with the rubber tire on
it. Every one I have here is starting to turn to goo right about now.
That's a 1200' tape reel on there.
You know, that drive bears a more-than-superficial resemblance to the
DEC TS11, with repositioned lights and buttons. Hmmmmmm.
