hi folks...

i need a refresher course in replacing m400 tapes.
i'm doing this for a friend - mine are all in fine shape,
and i have not done this for about 15 years now.

so i have an old frame that needs its tapes replaced.
my understanding is that using the old tapes to pull through
the new tapes is a recommended method. [yes? no?]

i have a new set of streetly tapes [on the little red spools].
before i even break them out, i recall that there are marking
that pertain to:

1] cut here

2] start of sound [to be aligned with the heads once installed]

3?] are there key numbers on them?

so what do i need to do to use the old tapes to pull on the
new tapes. i remember when i did my last set i had 35 pieces of
tape hanging around my studio and tempting my cats to play.
sadly, i have no more cats at the moment, but i still think
that was not the simplest way to do it. i did some searching
around, but could not find a website with 'proper' instructions
on handling a fresh set of streetly tapes. these have been
sitting around for a couple years now and i weant to deliver
the freshly loaded rack to my friend kurt next week. i even
have an 'extra' m400 to use as a staging machine, so all i
need is the tutorial on this... and a translation on the marks.

thanks in advance folks!
jeff

Jeff Baby,
 
1) Take the red reel that says 1 - 12.
 
2) Enlist a friend
 
3) Obtain scissors, 1/4" spicing tape and screwdriver.  
 
4) Demag metal objects 
 
5) Sex with a whore
 
6) Undo first reel and look for punched hole.  Cut across it.
 
7) Splice new tape to the end of the old tape i.e. the tail of the low 
G on the front tape retaining bar of the frame.
 
8) Sex with friend
 
9) Loosen first two retaining screws of front retaining bar.
 
10) Allow spliced joint to pass under screws.
 
11) Ask shagged out friend to hold the tail of the tape to be 
replaced...AND NOT LET GO..and then undo the two retaining screws on back 
retaining bar.
 
12)  As friend pulls old tape out, you allow new tape in until the 
'start' mark line is just before the head gap of the tape head and the loop 
length is the same as the other remaining tapes.  Secure first screw on 
front retaining bar.
 
13) Ask friend, who has now recovered and wants more of you, to tighten the 
first screw of the back retaining bar.  The new tape is now secure.
 
14) Cut tape at next punched hole.
 
15) Repeat 34 times stopping for casual sex when the mood takes you.  
I forgot to include the courtesy tissues.  Sorry.
 
Best,
 
M

can i substitute bourbon for both the beer and the scotch?
i don't generally keep beer in th house, and the only scotch i have
is 18 year old single mal - only for special occassions. but i always
have a large bottle of makers mark on hand. i put it on my cereal.
[the woodford reserve being a bit to pricey for me these days...]

this reminds me, i still need to make a 'special tool k' thingy.

which then ALSO reminds me...

it seems we have not heard anything from ken leonard or jerry korb
for quite some time. i hope they are well. they are both wonderful
guys and i have missed their presence. not that the rest of you
lot are any less wonderful, i don't know most of you as well or
have not met you personally [jimmy and gino being the exceptions].

anyone heard anything from them recently?

best to all,
jeff

  So it IS possible..

  I only got as far as persuading my wife to hold together a broken tape whilst I applied the splicingtape.

  What is it that turns off our wives when it comes to Mellotrons?

Hi folks-

Yahoo mail won't display any of our fine and grand pictures anymore. I just get an "x" in the top left corner of the pic area. Did I miss a download or something? Yahoo "Help" is of no help to me on this subject (or, I can't decipher it). Any thoughts? Are the pics being treated as spam or something now?

I couldn't believe it either. I left the shop to answer the phone. When I came back, she was installing it and hooking up the connectors. I grabbed the camera and took these pictures. I have these photos hanging in my shop. They make me smile. She also cuts out felt pads and puts them on the key springs and pressure pads. If I'm up against a deadline, she'll always help where she can as long as she doesn't run the risk of chipping a nail.

Hi folks-

Yahoo mail won't display any of our fine and grand pictures anymore. I just get an "x" in the top left corner of the pic area. Did I miss a download or something? Yahoo "Help" is of no help to me on this subject (or, I can't decipher it). Any thoughts? Are the pics being treated as spam or something now?

No, this is not a faked photo. She really was helping me.

  So it IS possible..

I only got as far as persuading my wife to hold 
  together a broken tape whilst I applied the splicingtape.

What is it 
  that turns off our wives when it comes to 
  Mellotrons?

you have to have your group preferences set to receive individual emails.
viewing the group via the web interface or via journals removes the
attachments.

does that explain the issue/problems?


note: picture attachements do not get added to the group 'files'
section.

  Thanks, Jeff, but my group preferences are already set up that way.
  I don't get any images in either group or e-mail format.  I prefer using e-mail format.
  The images disappeared after my email compose screen changed format & gained the toolbar.  A global change of the e-mail interface, I guess, but not one I chose.
  There is an Adobe Acrobat pop-up that keeps pestering me to update a file that seems unrelated to this subject.  It doesn't say that the update is free, so I just cancel it.  Maybe I need this update, as it only pops up in our e-mail.
 
   Thanks for all your help, everyone-
 
    -Bruce D.

Don't be too upset, it wasn't as good as you might think - not enough 
cleavage.

Hey, hey, hey! As I recall from a photo you sent me a while back, you have a fine set of man boobs.

I was starting to feel old on stage and am simply not ready to give up performing, and now I can play all night again without getting tired and sore. The best thing is that the people I play with at this time are twenty years younger than I or more, and they ARE tired at the end of the night. Heh.

Hey, that's inspiring, Jon. I'm glad to hear it. Now you can mix all of that talent with the stamina needed to share it. I commend you!

The problem is that the pecs turned into the manrack. I'm working on
turning that back around, and so far, my wife is only focused on my
"thinning" hair.
