Running a TK50 "on the bench"

One quick question - anybody recommend a good place for DLT tape drive
repair? I've got a drive here that I need to have looked at (it wont
even pull the tape in out of the cartridge, now).

fun way to de-spool most of a DLT IV tape from a drive: wrap the end of
the broken tape around the rotating part of a power drill, pull the
trigger. 8-)
