What is the tape drive? That board has a distinct look

What tapes does it use? If I were a gambling man I would guess at Phlips
minicassettes (not microcassettes). I think I know that drive...
The drive has no maker stamp on it but I think you're right with the
minicassettes - the ejecting lid looks bigger than a microcassete. As it
happens there's an identical one on ebay right now!

That's the one. It's a Philips mechanism. I have at least one somewhere. I will
try to find it. I don't think I have the schematic for it, but at
least I can look at the
PCB and find component values.
Just to keep you updated, I have located one of my units that contains said
drive. I am rather busy at the moment with more mundane things, but I will
try to pull it apart and identify said capacitors.
