JIC any farmers out there, replace livestock for farmer.
The tape now runs as easily as a C90.
I doubt the owner will pay 30GBP for a refurbished cart.
Presumably there was a label on the echo chamber casing originally , why
there is a hinged back flap to this. As the spindle and pinchwheel and
tape are always engaged, with or without power, the rear lid muist be so
you can manually disengage the tape drive after each use.
For anyone re-taping a cart, count off the turns of tape and its overall
length. Assuming you would splice the tape off the cart, then for n+0.5
turns on the reel, you would have to put n turns in the tape , in the
correct clockedness, before splicing.
