You did fit the shipping lock to the RK05 positioner

I hope.
No, unfortunately I forgot about that.
if the heads have moved forwards onto the platter,
both will probably be damaged :-(
Probably. I'll see.
Take it this way: The previous owner moved all this stuff down into the
basement 20 years ago. He removed the stuff from the rack before I
arrived. I doubt that he engaged the shipping lock. So the chances are
good that this already happened long before I arrived.
About the tape drive I left behind:
If someone else wants it I can get you in contact with the owner. Most
likely he will be happy when you take it out of his hands. But you have
to pick it up in Heidelberg, Germany. No shipping!
