I had purposely sent them a cartridge that was missing a shutter spring to see if they would replace it, and indeed, they did. I just love the sound of the drive searching for files! I was happy to regain this utility of my HP-85 because it makes the machine a self-contained unit, meaning I don't have to carry around a 20 pound 82901M!

This is good to know! Restoring my 85 tape drive has been on-going for years now. I am sure a lot of my tapes are bad after years in storage. Thanks Dan!
