Yeap, the rollers in them seem to "melt" with age just like the ones in
the HP 67s, 85s etc.

Hi,
I just picked up one of these with the Z-80, Z-80AA, 8080, 8085, 6800,
6809, 8051 and 8048 pods. Has anyone else got one other than Al and Jeff?
What do you think of them? Has anyone ever tried to repair the tape drive
capstans on them? Has anyone ever tried to built the probe for one? BTW
these date from around 1981 and are powered by Z-80s so they're on-topic.
I've got several around here along with Z80, 8088, 6809E and 68000 pods.
No experience with the tape drives yet. Does this hit that they could be a
pest? :-0
Regards, Chris
