Thanks Norm,
Excellent explanation. I can see how the revolving version would be an improvement in
terms of less wear/chance of sticking on the tapes.
I never knew what to call the "little pulley thingy" at the bottom of the tape frame.
Now all I need to know is how much the empty frames cost and what shipping charges
would be from UK to US.
Best,
John
