Not sure if this is old news to some here or not, but I recall a discussion
here a while back about where to find 1/4" paper leader, and folks seemed
to be <bleep> out of luck (as we say in public radio) finding a source,
especially for the Quantegy AC1L201WP archival quality leader.
Today on Glenn Meadows' mastering board, someone posted about Art Bradwein
and Tape Makers in Westbury NY. I just spoke with Art, and he says that in
fact his company was the manufacturer of the leader sold by Quantegy, as
well as the blue splicing tape and several other products.
The best part was that he said they continue to manufacture this product to
this day. $10 per 1000ft reel, minimum order of 5 reels. Didn't get
prices on any other products, but he offered to send me an old catalog
tomorrow, and said that most products are still available...
