I soldered back the orange wire, and the tape drive now works in the sense
that it starts, read/write, kind of...
It could need a head azimuth adjustment, but I can't find the hole for
the little screw.
Does anyone know where it's supposed to be?
Is such a tape drive supposed to read its own written tapes even if
the azimuth is wrong?

Thanks
