[sdiy] UK - B&Q Tape adapters

[Harry Bissell]

I made an echo unit in college with a cassette deck, eliminating the erase head (just remove and shield because its usually
part ot the bias oscillator circuit)... and put the record head where the erase head belonged, and added an additional playback head.

Yes, you run out of echo when the tape runs out... but that could be 30 - 45 minutes later.

~and~ you can play the tape later as a standard cassette and hear all the weird sh!t you did in the last half hour...

(its a feature, not a bug...)

A standard VHS deck does sound quite tempting - if the video drum were
removed and replaced with an array of 1/4 inch tape heads, the tape
threading mechanism would allow quite a long path between record head
and final play head.
Only down-side would be that the video tape will have a finite run time
(3 hours?) before rewinding was required.
