And I am an active archivist of old software who works for groups around
the country on a pro-bono basis who has been trying to find a 10" 7 track
for years now.

People on the list can make their own decisions about where a drive should
go if one should ever turn up.

FWIW, 7 track drives are going for $3500 and up when they do show up.

I was happy when I found a write-only 7 track head stack for only $500
a few years ago.
