I'm still waiting on someone to tell what this really is, I could not
find any hits using Google. The model number is below.

UPS delivered
my Burroughs tape unit model BU4180 yesterday
but it was destroyed. They must have dropped it from a high
place as this thing weighs in at almost 80 pounds. Things
inside are pretty bad but I would like to try and get it
looking nice again, since the boards inside are damaged I
do not think I can get it to work again. Does anyone on the
list have repair manual for this model? I would like to see
how he belts go around the pulleys inside the case. Thanks
You are admirably mellow. In lieu of tasting the blood of
the a**hole who did this, I'd want everyone who handled
that package fired from UPS, Hell, everyone who *might*
have handled it, except for the one I'd have the rapport
with, the delivery guy.
Don't tell me this was a 7-track drive, or I'll weep
profusely...
