Roll Repair Tape
By Bob Conant

Jody,

I don't remember who sent this in originally but it references a source for
the Filmoplast P tape used for roll repairs.

Subject: Repair Tape

In response to the question of a few days previous, I have
used Filmoplast "P" archival tape for roll repair the last
nine or ten years.  It seems to be far superior to 3M Magic
tape as it is very tissue thin, repositionable before burnishing,
acid free and long lived.  It is made by Hans Neschen Gmbh and is
available through University Products.  Their address and telephone
number is:

    University Products
    517 Main Street
    P.O. Box 101
    Holyoke, MA.  01041-0101
    (800) 762-1165

It is not cheap, $20.95 in the '94 catalog but I have repaired
hundreds of piano rolls and am still on the first roll of tape.
There are several of us up here in the Great Northwest using
this product and none have had any problem.  Hope this helps.
