I have a box of the repair material somewhere, but I suspect the
adhesive would be useless with the material. Better to manufacture your
own with Williams suggestion, or a simpler one like mine. BTW, we only
used this method with tapes to be read on an ASR33. We didn't have high
speed machines.
I remember there being the remains of a pinch roller from the KDF9 high speed tape reader
that had been destroyed by a bad join in a tape in University of Newcastle data prep
room.
There was also a warning to re-punch tapes for that reader......
You can use scotch tape sometimes on units with
optical readers, and
dupe the tape from what you read if you need to have a copy w/o a break
in it.
thanks
