The tape drive that's currently on ebay with the 11/34 in the short
cabinet has a label that says TE10 on the back.  The seller sent
me some pictures that appear to say TE10, and he says it's a model
TE10.  Take a look at ebay item 5178288415.  Looks like a TU10
with different style buttons on the control panel.
