I have 2 tape frames, the one that came with #1565 and a brand new one. I would like to move the tapes from the new frame into the old tape frame and put a new set of tapes into the new tape frame. I don't think there is an easy way to do this but if any body has some good ideas, my lumbosacral spine and myself would be grateful.

I've heard that if you leave the tape frames out overnight along with a plate of pickled onions, jellied eels and a couple of pints of beer, the mellotron elves will break into your house, eat all the food, drink all the beer, and if you're lucky, really lucky, the re-lace the tape frames for you.

Of course, I heard that story from John Bradley...
