The short answer is: The new tape frame is mechanically a big improvement on the old, new tape springs, turnbuckles with axles and rollers etc. I ordered the new tape frame with the voices I thought I would want to use most often but I have changed my mind. I want to put new tapes into the new frame and move the current tapes into the old frame as a back up. I don't plan to changed the tape frames very often but I certainly would not want to bin a new set of tapes even if I am not going to use them much!
Incidentally thinking of this has suggested a possible partial solution, I could swap the tape springs and turnbuckles between frames and then just relace the tapes in the old frame and use that, hmm not sure if that is much easier.

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.
