  Hi Tony Duell.

 Could you remember this thread below ?
 I have the same system and need some help to reassemble an HP tape  
 drive.
 After disassembling and ultrasonic cleaning of a HP-Tape-Drive for  
 this
 HP9915B two parts remaining unassembled.

 Two parts, small thin chromium-plated metal stripes, are droped  
 down out of
 the device during dismantling.
 I could not find out where these have to be mounted again.

 Here you could see few pictures of these parts.

 I would be really happily if someone could help me to get out where  
 these
 parts has
 to be placed back into that tape-drive. Could you help me ?

 With regrads

J?rgen -

Having dropped a good number of the little pieces while repairing old  
HP test equipment, I think you will find that they came from several  
of the keyboard key switches. They return the key after a press. Hope  
this helps...
