minus-square@D_C@lemm.eelinkfedilink2•1 month agoWooo, look at hoity toity FancyPants over here with their screwdriver. All we could afford to fix our cassette tapes was a pencil. And a blunt pencil at that. And it was probably stolen from school!! Screwdrivers indeed!
minus-square@hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink1•1 month agoThe screwdriver is not for the tape. It’s for adjusting the audio head so it can pick up the data on the tape. When someone gave you a tape with some nice games on it there was a near 100% chance you needed to adjust your datasette to read them.

Don’t you use a flathead for that?
