I can't be much direct help there, Chuck, as I think I have only one
COMPACTape II here. However, there is a surplus house that has had a
number of the II tapes for sale at $2 each. I need to visit them soon
to check on something else, so I'll see if they are still available.

Since I can't use it, I guess that I am open for offers on the TK70...
