I'm not sure that 1/2" tape would fit. And what about problems of
crosstalk between tracks? I admit that it's a nice idea, though.
I had a turn on the four track that Streetly currently have for imminent
resurrection and it's great fun. Almost about as much fun as the
Birotron. But not quite.
In fact...what about a cycling eight track? Or even a cycling four
track? Out of interest (Frank?) how did the J-Tron's hand-crank cycling
work? When did it (or you) know when the station had been reached?
