Wanted: TU58 DECtape II Drive

Posted on Jan 17th, 2014

  • Items for my DEC VAXstation 3100 Model 38:
    • Bezel for TZ30 tape drive option, 74-37501-01
    • Color monitor, VR160 (preferred) or VR290 (big!)
    • Color video cable
    • DEC BNC tees and terminators with plastic overmold
    • DECconnect (“MMJ”) cables, BC16E-xx
    • DECconnect (“MMJ”) to DE9 adapters, H8571-J
    • Drive mounting screws/grommets, or at least pictures and dimensions of them
    • Ethernet loopback plug
    • External SCSI cable, 68 pin to 50 pin, BC09J-xx
  • 8-level Teletype BRPE punch for 1 inch wide paper tape, with a chad-making punch so I can use the tapes it punches in optical readers.
  • Aluminized printer paper for my Racal MA-4233 printer. Referred to as “electrosensitive paper” or “metal paper”, I believe. It uses 60mm wide rolls of approximately 42µm thick paper on a plastic core of around 12mm diameter (though the core isn’t critical in this printer), with a very thin aluminum coating over a dark paper substrate. While exact drop-in rolls would be great, I’d consider any wider size which I might be able to cut down, as well as large rolls or sheets of this kind of paper for use in my AN/TXC-1 facsimile machine.

    • Tape cartridges: Almost all of them are bad by now, but a small number of them might be repairable.
