The tape is on the FOOT PRINT Malaysian bootleg label, but it’s not listed on discogs. Will have to fix that 👍

Deciding that the paper was the main issue. Returned the tape flow around the fixed and moving guides, but removed the paper from both sides.

What a difference, moved freely, I can expect a bit of noise on rewind perhaps, but at least this plays now.

Surgery is closed.

I can tell from the rings that there is pressure on the paper coming from the turning spool. In the third pic I reversed the paper to see if this made any difference. Also tried the tape just round the smaller guide spools and not the fixed guide in combo. No change, maybe worse. Do over…

Let’s get down to it, boppers!

Shameless plug here. My daughter drew me the baseball furies and it’s on her Redbubble.

Make the advert more tolerable by telling everyone in your house one eyebrow is darker than the other.

Once you see it you can’t see anything else.

I think we’ve met somewhere along the way, especially the MAME one.

Being a massive fan of The Fall, my natural reaction here is “hey there fuckface, hey there fuckface” from “The Classical”
Check out Blindless from “Fall Heads Roll” and try not to tap your feet , harder than trying to eat a fruit pastel without chewing.

Only one I ever got was a fake RE one for @pointerfunction.bsky.social

The Warriors ones look fun, but I’ll be fine without.
