I just got an email back from the friend after sending him a link to your
pictures: apparently not the same, the one he dismantled had the controls
along the top. So it's a different model or perhaps the tape-handling
mechanism was being OEM'd (I'm still fairly convinced the tape handling
mechanism is the same). He couldn't get a model/manufacturer of the one he
dismantled, the nameplate and some parts of it were missing. Just for
amusement I've been trying to match the parts I got to
a manufacturer/model number.
Ah hah,
matches the heads from the one my friend dismantled,
Oh, same model? Spares???
Perhaps. But I *won't* interface it to
"something more modern".
The controller is built into a 1969 Honeywell H316 chassis, I want to
use it its original context :-)
Well that's even better ... didn't realise you had period equipment to use it
with, although I do recall seeing some web pages of someone in Germany with a
'smaller' Honeywell processor.
