RE: new, inbox 9825
Well now I am jealous!

Check out this recent thread:

Geoff's 9825a

Larry remachines and supplies a new capstan covering called Tygon. The second concern is the impact printer pads which will compress with time and lose its bounce qualities and make the printer LOUD.

Your error message, let me guess, ERROR 43, which is a result of the capstan rubber decomposing and or the tape delaminating. I guarantee the tape drive capstan is rotted and should be replaced. It is not just a matter of replacing the capstan as the goo contaminates many parts around it so it needs to be dismantled and cleaned. The tapes are another matter, there is a statistic out there that only 20% of shrink wrapped NOS tapes work and then only for a short while until they delaminates.

Larry converts the drive to accept modern versions but that also requires milling the plastic bezel or surround to accept the wider new tapes.

The printer repair is easy if you are tool worthy.

I will e posting further on the link above when I get my tape drive back from LA. It is in the mail!

Geoff
