Yes. The HP pad is felt-covered foam from the looks of
things, but plain
felt might well work well enough to get the data off the tape (which,
honestly, is all I care about at the moment).
Next job is to find suitable felt. The stuff sold by craft shops is too
thin. Maybe a musical instrument repairer place or something?
Since the tape itself is the same size as that of a compact casstte(tm),
might I suggest butchering am otherwise un-needed unit, and slice the
pad off the comparable leaf spring? As to the proper cement to use, I
leave that to you...
