It appears to have been stored adequately. I am now looking for a
TK50/70 drive to read it. I am in the Netherlands.
I have one that says AR-GL5AJ-BN MF1539 MVII DIAG CUST TK50 here. Not
sure if it is newer or older. It's a copy someone made at some point,
so the label is handwritten, and have no date on it.
I am sure I have used it in the past, but I seem to maybe never have
made a copy, and as I try to read it on my TK70 right now, I'm
getting read errors... :-(
Actually, I just remembered that I might have broken that drive a year
or two ago... I should try to locate another TK70 drive.

I have finally been able to investigate the tape I acquired, and am
sorry to say that the tape broke after the first load. I opened up the
cartridge, and apart from the break about a foot from the leader, a
section in the middle looks "crumpled" with sections of tape sticking
out. I will try and fix the part near to the leader, but don't get your
hopes up...
Ok. All the more reason for me to get a working TK70 then. I'll see if I
can arrange that during Xmas.
