This seems to want a light touch via open cell foam, from what I can tell, much like what's used for many 8-Track cartridges. It seems like you could use felt as well, but only if you had a light spring force applied. These cartridges have foam glued to aluminum. I'm also seeing felt glued to spring (beryllium copper?) material online for 8-Track tapes. Hmm...
Jack, if you discover you have a Minidek, I'll be curious to know if you have the original 1351 or another 1371 like mine. I don't think I have schematics for the 1351 interface, but I do have one doc on Bitsavers relevant to the 1351. The one in Stuttgart is connected to a Straight-8 and Klemens does demo it from time to time.
