Yeah, the guy I bought it from wanted to keep it because it was totally something that must be worth a few pennies in good condition. That corrosion though.......
I gotta figure out a way to clean up that drum. The capstans are filthy but otherwise they all seem to be okay.
In the computer field the DECtape and LINCtape people if their head block was damaged beyond the point where a simple polish would save it they would put packing tape over it which was thin enough to permit reading and writing and smooth enough that it didn't cause friction issues. A split drum however is a little different, this one in particular with those wire guides.

I don't even have sams for it. I don't even know where the heck you would even find those.
