I have finally been able to investigate the tape I acquired, and am sorry to say that the tape broke after the first load. I opened up the cartridge, and apart from the break about a foot from the leader, a section in the middle looks "crumpled" with sections of tape sticking out. I will try and fix the part near to the leader, but don't get your hopes up...

Ok. All the more reason for me to get a working TK70 then. I'll see if I can arrange that during Xmas.

FYI, I have access to several working TK70 drives. One of them did production backups and incidental restores until a few months ago. But yes, that is the one that wrecked the old tape...
