Hi all,
Thanks to the manual sent by Dave - G4UGM, my Creed 6s6 tape reader is
alive again. I was a lot of work to adjust the tape head but I managed
to get it working without any more fault. I still have to add a voltage
transformer.
I found small toroidal isolated transformer that fit well in the box.
A few videos on my blog (in French I apologize).

BTW, the Raspberry PI UART does not seem to like receiving a stream of
characters without any time interval between them. I had to program a 1
stop bit instead of the 1.5 sent by the head to be able to get the full
stream. Finally, a slight tension on the paper tape seems to be
necessary. Without that, a few errors may appear in the stream.
