Its outer end which grabs the tape from the cassette is arrow-shaped. Is the "arrow" quite in order? If not, the takeup leader should be replaced. I have got a dead TK70 drive for that reason. Is there any source of replacement parts? Jordi Guillaumes i Pons jg at jordi.guillaumes.name HECnet: BITXOV::JGUILLAUMES . Yes, there are takeup leader which you can buy. I don't have prices right now, but I know where to find them. Are there others here at HECnet who might need them? I could check if we could get a good bargain if ordering several. Sorry for this OT.
