As I already told Scott in a private mail:

The flanging usually was not done using the tape machines to playback
two copies of the same tape, but using two machines as delay (record the
sound and listen from the separate playback head). Either the flanged
machine is speeded up a littlebit or you flange alternating the one and
the other tape. So there is no big trick ...
