Anybody have a junker TK50 with the plastic tape leader still intact? Or,
does anyone have a NOS part? I would like to buy that part to repair my drive.
Mine has broken on one side of the position aperature through which the
photodiode detects its position. Looks like it has been broken awhile as
the tips of the break are a bit rounded with wear from the previous owner
continuing to use it (probably never knew it was broken). I don't want to
take a chance with it breaking on me while most of a tape is wound up on
the takeup spool!
Thanks, Chris
