DECtape madness

So, where were all these people when I was trying to clean out my old house a couple years ago? I threw out piles of tapes of various formats because I couldn't find anyone to take them for postage. I also threw out piles of other stuff (some of it old DEC and Sun kit) after offering it on eBay and getting zero bids. The only thing I have successfully sold thru eBay was an antique claw-foot bathtub. I have stuff now that will likely go in the trash because I really can't affords the space to be a storage locker any more. bill ________________________________ From: cctalk <cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org> on behalf of David Bridgham via cctalk <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2018 9:34 AM To: Noel Chiappa via cctalk Subject: Re: DECtape madness I had those on my watch-list and just shake my head at the astonishing prices for the things. I've wondered if you might not make DECtape tape from 3/4" video tape. I know that DECtape has mylar on both sides but what if you somehow glued two strips of video tape together with the mylar backing on the outside. Probably want to build a jig of some sort and I'm not sure what glue to use.
