	Found a fritzing Diagram of a "casduino" for a C64/PET Datasette. Started with converting the diagram to a KiCad schematic, using the TZXDuino Pico as example, so that I don't need to use a separate SD-card interface board, or 3V3 regulator.

			Unfortunately testing revealed that the "repaired" datassette still does not work, it can rewind, but not wind forward, and it cannot play or record.
			The solution (for now) is that I replaced the CBM 4032 which I could not get any game for, with my other PET, the CBM 8032, which is a little bit less authentic, and whic cannot run many PER 2001 (or CBM 4032) software. as it has an 80-columns display instead of a 40-column display. but most museum visitors will not know this, and it works with the SD2PET.

	The re-assembled datassette did not work, and I could see why, the left spindle is sunk lower into the deck than the right one, so I too it back to revspace, and unscrewed it with the four screws. to have a look at the mechanics of the left spindle I had to remove the PCB with the electronics. and that happened to be a big problem, the head of the screw was completely worn off,and removing the screw was impossible it seemed the spacer that should have been riveted fixed turned so it was impossible to unscrew the screw even with a good Philips head. So I used a Dremel to remove the head. after I lifted the PCB I could see why the spindel was not at the same height, the metal onto the spindel was riveted was bent, so I bent it back. and screwed the PCB back with just one screw, and made sure the thick wire of the connecting cable was soldered to ground which I found out it wasn't earlier, the probable reason why the datasette motor did not run. so this is how it looked like after the repair:		The re-assembled datassette did not work, and I could see why, the left spindle is sunk lower into the deck than the right one, so I too it back to revspace, and unscrewed it with the four screws. to have a look at the mechanics of the left spindle I had to remove the PCB with the electronics. and that happened to be a big problem, the head of the screw was completely worn off,and removing the screw was impossible it seemed the spacer that should have been riveted fixed turned so it was impossible to unscrew the screw even with a good Philips head.
