Mellotronists

I want to try installing new tapes onto my frame by splicing it to 
the existing one and pulling it through.  I stopped by the local 
Radio Shack and they no longer carry splice kits or splicing tape.

Anyone have a source for splicing tape, or is there a decent 
alternative?  Markertek only has a VHS splice kit (90 pieces of VHS-
sized splicing tape).  Also - when you store your old tapes onto a 
reel, you normally join each section with some splicing tape, right?

Thanks

You'd be attaching the start of the new tape to the end of the old tape to 
pull the new tape through the frame, correct?

Any kind of adhesive tape will work for that; it's only temporary and 
doesn't have any audio application---unless you cut the new tape in the 
wrong spot, in which case you'll need a lot of real splicing tape, or a new 
set of tapes...:-(

I think the last time I replaced a set of tapes, I used some waste adhesive 
label paper where some CD labels came from and cut little strips.

M400 #805 - has had the strip treatment
M400 #1037 - needs to be stripped
