Ok. The next obvious thing is just cleaning. As with all tape drives,
the heads needs cleaning once in a while. Get isopropanol, some cotton
heads, and just clean them.
If things still fails after that, then I don't have any more quick
fixes. :-)
But next to the pickup, the cleaning have fixed countless of them for me.
I haven't tried cleaning TK50 heads in years, but I will (now that I
have a more respectable workspace) start trying that. I will let you
know how things go. I'll probably start digging into those within the
next month or two. Thank you for the suggestion!
