O-Rings for HP9825 Message #1 Posted by Andre Koppel on 17 Oct 2004, 5:31 a.m. Hi all, I got a well working HP9825 from Ebay. It contains GPIB and a BCD-Interface. The Printer is in a good condintion also. Looks like the computer is running well. But there is one problem (the same for all of these machines). The gummi-wheels for the cartrige-drive are gone. I have tried to get the approbriate O-Rings here in Germany, but I have not found a reseller. Is anyone in the states willing to send an amount of O-Rings to me so I am able to repair the drive (details for the O-Rings are given in the repair-section of HPMOC)? Kind regards Andre

Re: O-Rings for HP9825 Message #2 Posted by Vassilis Prevelakis on 19 Oct 2004, 1:32 a.m., in response to message #1 by Andre Koppel To the best of my knowledge the 9825 tape drive is very similar to the HP-85 tape drive. I have repaired quite a few capstans for HP-85 and 9915A/B drives without ever using o-rings. Have a look at http://www.series80.org/Articles/capstan-repair.html for some notes and pictures of the HP-85 repair. **vp
