Repair of Apple Tape 40SC

[cranem@athenet.net (Michael Crane)]

Anybody know where I can get an Apple Tape 40SC repaired at a somewhat
reasonable price?  Both of the ones I've got have the friction roller
in the drive gone bad (they've gotten all gooey - kind of like bubble
gum).  I would just forget about it and get a newer drive, but I need
to restore some old backups.  (Unless, of course, somebody knows of
another drive mechanism that will read the older mini-cartridge DC2000
40MB tapes I've got and is supported by the RamFAST SCSI Rev. D card.)
