[QuadList] Splicing 2" videotape question

[L.E. Odham]

Hello John, 



If there isn't any damage to the tape ends where the splice came apart, you might try placing the tape edges against a sraightedge, or have someone else hold the tape against a straightedge, and bring the ends together 'til they almost touch. 

   Then apply a piece of 1/2'' wide foil splicing tape to the back sides of the tape. 



John Lessa had a Smith splicer a few days ago he offered to me. You might give him a try. 317-539-7002. Danville, Indiana. Tell him Larry sent you. 



Hope this helps 

Good Luck! 



Larry

Subject: [QuadList] Splicing 2" videotape question 




Hello all: 

  

I need some advice, please. 


We were working with a 2” tape that had a number of splices.  One of the splices came apart as we were shuttling the tape. 


What is the best way to repair a splice (or make a new one)?  What type of tape should be used?  I’ve spliced ¾” tape and ½” tape (and have the appropriate splicing blocks and tape), but never 2” tape. 

  

Note, I don’t have a splicing block for 2” tape.  Is splicing even possible without a splicing block? 

  

Any advice would be welcome. 


Thank you;
