Tony/all,
Yes, the little squares were what I have used before, they're pre-holed to
make it easy to realign overtop.   That si what I  am looking to source,
ideally comercially-produced if they exist.  ASR 33 use.

I'd be happy with a small qty if anyone has these for sale or trade.  Maybe
I will ask green keys list, just thought of that, doh!  Someone there might
be able to help.

Regarding the tape in question I do have a previously-punched backup tape
for "everyday" use, I do not plan to actually use the ripped original
unless there is no other choice.  I just want to repair it for archival
purposes.

Thanks
Bill
