HP 7970E tape drive for sale

[aushitech]

I have an HP 7970E Tape drive for sale
It has been well stored since 1991 (!) and has one tape and pickup spool with it.
It was used at an astronomical observatory here (Australia)
It powers up well and is very clean
Detailed photos and all part numbers can be sent on request
I can foam pack and crate it for shipment anywhere (our specialty)
What offers for this rare beast from the '70s?

Hello
I am interested in vintage computers and magnetic data storage medium.
So I am interested in your HP 7970E tape drive.
Is it still on sale?
Can you send me some pictures about it.

Best Regards

Do you still have this?

Taking another stab at this to see if there is a response.

I'm also still less than 10 posts so I'm trying to get past that number so I can DM someone who might have one of these.

@emt75 the OP hasn't been back to the forum since 2020, so you're not likely to get a response.

Got it, thank you!

You wouldn't happen to have any contacts that deal with vintage HP equipment, would you?

I'd really like to get ahold of one of these 7970 tape drives. Or as a backup, any other tape drive that works with the HPIB interface.

Thanks either way!

I would also say the same for *stf86, it is best to start a new.
