Hi all, I've been working on restoring a commodore PET and looking to use a datasette for storage but right now it's not loading correctly and I suspect it needs an azimuth alignment. However I can't align it without having one known-good tape.
Unfortunately I don't have one and I don't feel like spending $20+ for a tape off fleabay
I am looking for any known-good working tape with a c64 program on it, I don't care if it's a boring old business app or a game or whatever as long as it works.
It could even be one you recorded yourself, doesn't have to be a commercially released tape.
I'm in the Cleveland area but shipping with media mail is pretty cheap anywhere in the US.
 
I’m not a Pet user, so forgive me if it doesn’t work the way my TRS-80s do.

Can’t you download a .wav file, play it on your computer onto a cassette recorder (hooked up headphone jack on the computer to mic or aux jack on the recorder) and then use that tape for you adjustments?

That’s assuming there are .wav files to be found somewhere of course.

Hope this helps, and if it doesn’t, I hope it doesn’t make me look too foolish.

yeah i considered that it might work, the tape deck my pc is hooked up to records at slightly the wrong speed so anything recorded on it plays back a bit fast. it doesn't generally affect being able to load on the computer but I figured it might affect trying to use it as a calibration.

I'm looking to do the azimuth calibration on a c64 even though I'll be using the datasette on a pet later.
