Hi lovely folks of the vcfed forum,
I'm about to finish my PET 2001-8C restoration. The last non-working bit is the "CT-1020" or "white keys 2001 datasette"
This is the model I mean, just in case...
...
It simply refrains from saving data - sometimes when reading back, it gets close to the given filename, e.g. "TEST-123" will be read as "Found T!STZTTs#$3" but most of the times it's just nothing. That said, reading data written with an C2N works fine.
What I've done so far:
Thanks a ton in advance for any tip, hint, idea I can get this last piece of the puzzle solved!
Cheers, Axel

What I've done so far:
- Clean the whole thing. Inside out. Heads, gears etc.
- Checked the PCB and all cables for discontinuity.
- Adjusted azimuth
- Then swapped the read/write and erase-head from a working C2N into it
