[Techtoolslist] WTT/WTB Tested and Working Fluke 9010a Tape Deck

[Matthew Rossiter]

Well, nevermind on this I guess.  I was able to finally get this tape deck 
to read tapes, but it still doesn't write - but that's not important.  I 
think I can fix that anyway.

By the way - here is the replacement phototransistor I used.  It fits and 
works perfectly. 
http://sensing.honeywell.com/index.cfm?ci_id=140301&la_id=1&pr_id=132852 
Newark has them.
This is for detecting end of tape.  I didn't reallize this before, but you 
have to solder these very carefully and quickly without too much heat 
otherwise you'll ruin them.

I'm still trying to find alternatives for the playwheel rings that go bad 
overtime.  I'll order some O-rings soon that I think will work.

Also, I was able to get my Airlink 101 USB to Serial adapter working with 
the Fluke9010a under Windows XP so I don't have to use my super old laptop 
anymore.

I'm not sure how many people actually care about getting their Fluke 9010a 
Tape decks working, but figured I'd share what I find.

Matt
