The system I had was, I'm pretty sure, made by Pertec. I
still have the manuals for it, and curiously they don't list
ANY manufacturer in the title block. It was a really small
thing, about 19 inches wide and 12 inches tall, with a
fairly stock spring-arm 9 track drive with 7" tape reels.
I couldn't find the listing on eBay.
