C9264CB Pick-up Leader
Can someone please tell me where I can pick up a new leader for the DLT VS 640 Slim drive?

Re: C9264CB Pick-up Leader
Anyone have any ideas why all of a sudden it's ripping the crap out of leaders?

Re: C9264CB Pick-up Leader
Dropped tapeleader.
DLT:
1. The tape leader is worn out.
2. Problemes with a tape. broken, ripped "eye"
3. Tape is Blocked.
Once a tape has been involved in a dropped tapelaeder problem. Never use it again.

Re: C9264CB Pick-up Leader
I never saw the VS640 system, but on previous version, there was some small holes in the tape path inside the drive, that should recognize the approaching of the EOT (end or tape) and BOT (Beginning of tape)
If there is some dust in front of the sensor, it will not slow down when rewinding and rip out the leader
This can be the reason of your problem

Re: C9264CB Pick-up Leader
I purchased 10 leaders via eBay (and seller threw in two extras) I'll replace again and see whether it destroys a new leader when I put it back in service.

Re: C9264CB Pick-up Leader
There should be (it was on the DLT, not sure on the SDLT) an optical sensor, so that the light flow through the hole in the tape, and this alert the motor to speed down approaching eot or bot.
so you should look for dust inside the tape path and remove it if you found. (as I said, not sure the SDLT work in the same way)
