I found the manuals for the 1052: (1) "Product Specification for Model 1052"
and (2) "Technical manual for PE Streaming tape transports"
(1) is about 25-30 pages, and (2) > 100, including diagrams, signal
descriptions, etc.

I'm afraid that my scanner will give up on the fine print.
As the combined weight is about a pound-and-a-half, mailing it to the US
would cost an arm and a leg.
Would there be a european alternative?
