Is the takeup leader (the plastic ribbon which is fastened to the internal reel) intact? 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?

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.
