I have an HP-9825a that I'd like to get 100%. Right now it's in very nice condition and everything works but, yes you guessed it, the cassette tape has a dissolved drive wheel.
1) Is there any good fix for this? Anyone know what the outside diameter of the wheel is? Maybe I could glue some sort of 'O' ring on the shaft. It appears to be about 1/2" but the goop is so bad that it's hard to tell what the diameter was originally.
2) What is the correct tape cartridge for the 9825a? The DC 2000 cartriges fit but I'm sure that is not the correct tape for this old machine.
3) Are the modules that plug into the back specific ONLY to the 9825a or does it also accept others from other models?
Thanks,
