Well  I've just ordered a new tape frame with tapes and I was thinking of 
getting  some new tapes for the old frame, but that really sounds way too

impressed either.

1. beer*
 
2. screwdriver
 
3. scissors
 
4. tapes
 
5. back brace

PS. Martin is correct, always demag first. Also, there is a difference  
between using your tool and playing with it. Stay focused.
