the same glass bead tape is used in DEC drives... watch out on the use
of alcohol on the vacuum column walls.
(This includes TU/TE10->16 TU45's TU77/8's and probably the STC TU7x's.)

as the subject says, what do you people use for
tape cleaning ?
Isopropyl alcohol (>91%) and lint-free cloths. Should be OK on all HP
914x and 79[78]x drives *excepting* 7976, whose drive is some bizarre
STC contraption that is made with the vacuum columns lined with
little glass beads that are glued to the sides of the column --
alcohol is a solvent for this glue!
