I was watching an instructional VHS tape earlier for work, and a tape already in the machine broke somehow when it ejected. Can you tape it back together like you could with film in movie projectors, or will it scratch the playback head? - --Mark **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.

Tape it together on the back of the tape (the non-playing side) and trim the edges of the sticky tape off with a razor blade or very sharp X-acto blade. Obviously you will need to put a piece of paperboard or other safe-to-cut-on material underneath the splice in order to trim it. Do not wrap the edges of sticky tape around onto the front of the videotape. Jen ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V7 #487 *******************************
