Alexandre,
Thank you for the reply and the offer-- Here in the US, these tapes
are now very rare. There are a few sellers that have old stock and are
selling them for US $40 or more each. And, unfortunately, they are not
DEC formatted-- they are just raw DC100A-- so will not work directly in
the TU58 drive.
If you have DEC formatted DC100A for the TU58, I would be interested in
making a deal with you. I don't much much experience shipping to/from
Brazil but I don't think the issue will be weight-- only customs/tariffs,
etc.
So, let me know if you have DC100A that are intended for the TU58 and we'll
see if we can make a plan.
Thank you again!

I have (4) unopened tapes and a few
"beaters" that seem to still work
so this may be all I can work with going forward-- unless a replacement
belt scheme pans out.
Chris, what is the problem with recovering a DC100A for service?
If I'm not mistaken I have some tens of these tapes stored...Is it
expensive where you live? Shipping from Brazil would be expensive
for a free pack of 10 or 20 tapes?
