8. Continue to rotate (but do not remove) the allen wrench until you feel resistance. The tape has been rewound as far as it can go without unthreading. Note: The number of rotations required depends on where the beginning of the tape is on the takeup reel. You may have to rotate the allen wrench for a lengthy period. Disengaging the Leader Pin from the Leader Block 1. Insert a small-blade screwdriver potentiometer into the access hole for the loader motor gear (see 1 in Figure 26). 2. While applying torque to the access screw and rotating it clockwise with the allen wrench 2 , rotate the loader motor gear with the small-blade screwdriver in a counterclockwise direction (see arrow). The rotation of the loader motor gear causes the leader pin block to move into the cartridge and disengage the leader pin. As you rotate the screwdriver, the allen wrench moves slightly. 3. Continue to rotate the screwdriver until you feel no resistance to the allen wrench (you may have to rotate the screwdriver for a lengthy period). When the wrench moves freely, the leader pin has disengaged from the leader block. Remove the allen wrench. Figure 26. Moving the leader pin block into the cartridge. When the leader pin block reaches the cartridge, it disengages the leader pin. Appendix C. Manually Removing a Tape Cartridge 87
