  When data in tape is corrupted, use pencil to rewrite it.

  You’re supposed to wind the tape around the pencil and eat it like spaghetti.

  They don’t, since the pencil is too thin. Use a bic pen or a german/japanese pencil and then you can rewound the tape proper.

    Nah. You don’t want it to rotate, you want to move your hand in a small circle.

    You use the wood right before the exposed lead and maintain pressure toward the outside of the spool. The pen clip cap from a Bic or a partially unbent paper clip worked even better than a pencil.

      exactly. and even better is a german/japanese pencil as they fit the inner spool perfectly.

    You hold the pencil and twirl the cassette around on it.

    I used to use some felt-tip pens, perfect fit.

  It goes in the round hole!

  OK so for better conveyance, I will say the pencil rewound the tape, and leave this handy image:

  Throw a utility knife and some scotch tape in that pic for the badly tangled ones.

  They didn’t, at least in Europe and North America. Japanese pencils are a bit thicker and actually can wind the tape.

    Was that what you used to wedge out a tape stuck in the player?

  Does no one write words on the tape labels?!

  • DmMacniel@feddit.org ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I print my own labels :)
