Can anyone give me a remedy for my mellotron eating it's tapes? They have gotten pinched between the capstan and the felt then wrapped around the capstan and ---snaaaaped!!!!! AUGH! I am thinking either A. the tapes are too old and worn
                                                                            B. the felt is too old and worn
                                                                            C. the felt needs cleaning
                                                                            D. the tape spillbox needs to be adjusted
                   Any help would be appreciated!
