[QuadList] Splicing 2" videotape question

[C. Park Seward]

John,

I have a 2" audio splicing block if that will help.  

If you are just re-applying splicing tape to the video tape, the problem may be in finding the proper splicing tape. The metalized tape used for 3/4" may work but YMMV.

Maybe here?

Let us know what you find.

Best,
Park
