During the 1970s, I used a similar system with my automated musical assemblages. Brian McLaughlin, whose dad owned Sphere Electronics in Chatsworth, CA, was a very gifted technician who was intimately familiar with the CMOS circuits and drivers of those days. You might see if Sphere Electronics is still in business; Don McLaughlin was the owner (the Dad) and Brian (the kid) did the work for me. But I used an 8-track player; the tapes were always stretching and the compositions would only last a few playings. If anyone can help you, Brian McLaughlin can.

"Good Luck"
