@OneLoveMediaNet Congratulations! It is a big save!

you left out TOO much in the re-assemble

[javapda]

@1freemannow sorry, you are correct, the re-assembly could have beenmore thorough

@javapda does it have to be scotch tape?

[javapda]

@ABCtutorials2 no, should work for most tapes of this type.

@NewChannels I'm with you. They are a bit of a pain :-)

I hate the VHS, MiniDV & 8 Track Tape.. What a Nightmare! ;')

The reassembly I found misleading. It works much better if you put the reels in the smaller of the two cassette casing parts. Then get all the parts into that side and align the pivots on the tape protector flange on the larger part with the curved grooves on the smaller part.

@jakebamsk8er Not sure what you are asking. Sounds like your tape is in fairly good condition.
