[vcf-midatlantic] Head alignment tape

UNIVAC 1540 Magnetic Tape Unit...I wonder if anyone has a 800 BPI, NRZ Master Head Alignment Tape (skew tape) to donate to VCF.

7 track or 9 track? The Univacs are pretty old even for "vintage". Also, as Dave McGuire noted, a lightly-used tape from a known-good drive will be useful. In the floppy-disk world, I use several diskettes each from a known good drive to validate "alignment". Seems to me, there's likely several boxes of mag-tapes in the inventory. Herb -- Herbert R.
