minus-squareD_C@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months 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-squarehessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months 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.

minus-squarehessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 months agoA flathead is still a screwdriver, is it not? It was a Philips screw IIRC. You can also use a flathead screwdriver on them but you shouldn’t IMHO.
