Hey-
Avery still lists labels for 9-track tapes, assuming that's
what these are:
Tape Reel High Speed Computer Labels
3-7/8" x 1-13/16", White, Dot Matrix,
Removable, 5000 labels per box
04052 5000 Labels per Box $139.15
If there are just ten people on the list who'd have use
for 500 labels, it's close to fifteen bucks per person.
OTOH, is anyone sitting on a stash of them? I found a
sheet with precisely three labels, and I've quite a
few more tapes than that...
Check to see if the adhesive still sticks to anything. My long-term
experience with tape-reel labels is that the "permanent' adhesive
lets go after 10 years or so, leaving me with a rack of unlabeled
tapes and a bunch of labels on the floor.
