Yep. I contacted Aiwa US and Aiwa Japan, along with several companies
that repair/support tape loaders with no luck, though Aiwa Japan was
quite helpful, going as far as to call me back in response to an
email.
Unfortunately this tape loader is a several years old, and while that
might not normally be a problem, Aiwa shut down their tape drive
division a while back and don't seem to have kept a lot of legacy
stuff left lying around.
In any case, thanks very much. I'll just have to decide if I want to
rely on a drive I don't know a lot about :>
