Aha! The drive looks identical to the "wafaDrive for zx spectrum!

and a pic I just took with exagerated brightness to see the black parts
clearer.

Also the tapes he shows in the videos look right for the location of the
head.

Anyone by any idea have any tapes that fit the A&J Micro Drive?
I got one with an Olivetti and it came with 2 tape dos's on regular
cassettes, but none of the special cassette that fits the drive.

The cassettes are perfectly readable so I'll be uploading their
contents in the next day or so probably.
The tape head looks like it could take standard 1/8" tape. It looks
like you could almost maybe draw up and 3d print something that might
possibly even work. except for the special hub to allow the tape to be
pulled from the center without binding or scratching, and the graphite
coating that the back of the tape probably needs.
