Re: IBM 3850 cartridge

On the top of the cartridge there is bunch of clips in a circular pattern. If you squeeze all these in at once, either carefully with your fingers or with some tube that is just the right size to squeeze them all in at once, you can then slide the clear cover off the top. The tape is a bit

Re: DG Nova 4 for pickup on Lon Gisland

Alright, I think I will go for it. I am not too far from it being in Poughkeepsie. Always loved the desk machines, and I personally have another kinda parts Nova 4 that hopefully I can use to switch parts between to get one really nice machine :) -Connor K On 2018-12-11 13:04, William
