That one which is greater than 6V - it must be the 'Cassette Motor Power'. 
I don't know the schematics of Plus4, but I've checked what's in the C-64.

Don't try to buy a 'pull up' resistor ;-)
The name 'pull up' means, that the voltage is being pulled up by that 
resistor when nothing is actively driving the line. 'Pull down' resistors 
are also used...
