Re: [ARSCLIST] Cassette surgery -- paging Dr. Hess



My favorite, all time, was a reel-to-reel spliced with duct tape. I actually saw it. Didn't work.

I'll bet it got interesting when they tried to fuse the splice with a cigarette. Doubly malodorous !

This reminds me of some of the weird things I used to turn up when picking up cheap videocassettes at
flea markets.....ends spliced together with half-inch splicing tape (never in a straight line), tapes
threaded backwards etc. Mind you, I once bought new VHS tapes in Detroit and brought them home, only to
find that one (a Scotch) had separated at the leader. Not exactly something I could easily take back to
the store.
