Wow, that's actually an awesome deal on a good tape, a poor man's Maxell dare I say.

Dan! you need to check out some maxell ud 1/4 inch tape. Its the nuts on a 1/4 inch machine. I have been buying it for my 22 series machines and love it. Its not cheap unopened but its nice to know that its not going to go bad like some of the old Ampex does

Hey Gary
No doubt. I actually picked up some NOS UD-35 several years ago when the prices were still reasonable, unlike now
. I'm glad I did 'cause it's one of the best (and some would argue the best) tape for 1/4" decks. Absolutely stable formulation and sounds great. I think I have like 10 UD 35-90 and about 6 UD 35-180, all sealed. Did you get yours sealed? How many do you have?

I bought two cases of the 14" pancakes from the same seller a while back. I just need to figure out a way to spin it down now. Got a 14" reel from sweetbeats but no deck big enough, and no free time to mcgyver some other method. I also got about 20 reels of UD from a friend of mine who doesn't like 7" reels!

you can try that "poor dude" method that I did while ago , also I did it for fun
and I did wind from 10" to 7" , not from 14" , but the same idea.
Place the reel on that board with cup-hub that is typically in the 10" reel box, place next to the machine and level it with the machine's reel tables, path the tape through the tape path and onto take up reel .
I've made short video, it's easier to show

also it may work or may not work too well ...

Well Zee, it looks like I actually found some cheaper, but after I already bought 2 cases off ebay.

the price is for one cake , so it's hundred fourty bucks per case, and you must buy full case. plus some shipping , I guess
stock it up while it's there for 25 per case plus ship ...then sell them - become filthy rich

Doh! Guess that explains why there is "Qty 10" instead of "Qty 1" in the cart by default huh? I'll get back to my beer and be quiet. hehe

I tried *something* like that with the box hub, and I got tape wound around inside the flange somehow. I'll check it out though. I see you have the supply reel farther up to provide better tension, that was probably my mistake. Thanks!!!
