I took a tape to bits...and all I can say is I am getting frustrated!
The more I tinker, the more I think the actual cassette tapes are most of the problem I am having...sigh...I never had these troubles back in my teens using a PET and a datasette at school...I am also thinking about opening up the body of a tape and adding a tiny bit of oil...as I think there is definite binding going on!
So far, well, it is working, but it is not...so, Rudy suggests I clean the head...good thought, but I still want to try another tape...and I did find one that was from TPUG, yes, the Toronto Pet Users Group!
I got a call after a flood had inflicted itself on a long time Commodore computer user...in fact, they grew up on the machines, starting out with a small screen, small keyboard PET way back in the day! That machine is sadly long gone, but the Commodore 64 and other items were potential victims of this tragic happening! I will carefully check out the bits and pieces that would have likely otherwise ended up in E-waste or landfill...which would have been awful!
Onward!
