To be described
The tape drive is awaiting restauration. It definitely lacks all
logic boards :( Otherwise, nothing obvious seems to be missing. How
can help me out with technical manuals of the drive to figure out a
list of missing boards. Hints on where to obtain spare boards would be
great! Any contact regarding this is greatly appreciated!

get a feeling for the serious sizes of the drive, my friend
Patrick posed next to it in this picture. |
