I am trying to identify a mini-cassette deck that is used as for data storage on a Newing-Hall NC engraver. I have just acquired the engraver but one drive is mechanically damaged, so I am trying to replace it.
There are two such drives on the unit, one in the programming unit and one on the NC control box on the engraver.
The control and programming units were made by North East Electronics in the UK, but they want substantial amounts of folding stuff to even discuss anything on this old unit (1987) Their representative told me today that mini-cassette tapes were no longer available, but I can still get new tapes from various sources on the web and so on.
I have taken some pic's to assist anyone who would like a stab it an ID, the pictures are at:
through
These are 3.5mb (uncompressed) jpeg's so if you haven't got DSL, add 'Red' after the image number ( DSC01469Red.jpg for example ) for a reduced size picture. All are available in both full size and reduced.
The drive motor on the one shown is a Canon, the other drive has a different motor make.
Any ideas would be gratefully received... :-))
Thanks, guys!
