Onderwerp: Re: TU56 DECtape takeup reel needed
I am also in need of emtpy reels. I purchased a TU56 that had been
taken apart to restore and the restoration had never been finished. The
empty reels were not in the box of parts.
Has anyone tried 3D printing these?

I just unpacked the rack with my TU56 DECtape

the movers managed to break the takeup reels. This, despite many layers

this was the only item that suffered any damage at all. Not too bad for
three moving van loads!
Can anyone help me with an empty DECtape reel or two?
Thanks,

Were they left on the drive during shipping?
Anyway, I can probably find one lying around that I could spare. (Or,
if you have a bunch of tapes, maybe sacrifice a scratch?)
Location?
