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

next month or two. Thank you for the suggestion!
I take it TK50 tapes won't read in a later drive?
They will. TK70 and TK85 (if I remember right) can both read TK50.
You also have the TZ30 (I think the name is), which is a TK50
compatible, but smaller drive, with SCSI.
The TK85 can read TK50s? I didn't know that! If that's the case,
it's likely that the TF85 (DSSI version) may as well, and I have one of
those. That may be one more option to get my huge pile of TK50s read.
Yes, it should.
