  • Cassette transport diagnostic tool
    Patent number: 5055960
    Abstract: A device for use in diagnosing a cassette transport includes a shell having a size and shape enabling it to be inserted into a cassette transport in place of a tape cassette configured for use with the cassette transport. The shell has no tape, reels, or moving parts and it is so configured that when it is inserted into the cassette transport it actuates switches that are part of the cassette transport which the tape cassette actuates when the tape cassette is inserted into the cassette transport. That enables the cassette transport to function while still leaving components of the cassette transport accessible to a technician.
