When I used tape years ago! You could buy splicing tape, I have used sticky
tape also in desperation but you have to make sure that the tape stays well
away from the recording heads and on one side. If there was a way of gettin=

it to me I could still repair it, my hands don=92t shake yet so there is ti=

Making a diagonal cut across both ends and splicing it was a work of art in
the field, it happened to me many times including DAT but that is another
story!!

Dear All,

Hi John,

Nicolas must have taken one of my Uganda tapes off my desk  (with loads of
good stuff on it), as I just found it on the ground with the  dog on it and
several meters of tape lying there, in fact it broke. Managed  to spin most
tape back on to the cassette, but had to cut out two meters or  so of
damaged tape. Have you ever had a broken tape? Can you get a technician  to
repair it?

Cheers, Paul
