We could try to read them off the IBM 1401 7-track. But you'd have to send the tapes over here, can't send the computer ;-). Contact me offline of interested. Marc

I've got 6 tapes in a batch of 50 that are 7/556 and are labeled with "Lunar Orbiter" labels. I suspect that all 5 missions are covered, but I don't know if I want to even submit a bid on getting these read. These are all from the JPL warehouse. Probably just digital survey data, but who knows? The remainder are all late 70s and 80s 9 track. But these are 66-69 vintage. Suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated. --Chuck
