Message for Joe Heck - re. 7 Track tape drives

It seems to me that Compass (that warehouse I was clearing out last year(s)) had a pair of old 7 track drives. They were actually tape terminals made by MDS for Western Union - keyboard, drive, lots of (pre-IC) electronics and a little core. I did not get them during my deal, and they tried to Ebay a refurbished/in-the-crate one and could not get $100 for it. Some clowns wanted it just for the core stack. Upon the last days of Compass (long gone now), they just gave me the drives. I tried to mount an old Univac tape, but I think the WU drive uses a wacky format. That, or Univac did. I have a lot of 7 track Univac tapes that I need to read, as some may contain an OS. Al, when you get the ability to read 7 tracks, let me know, and I will send some tapes.
