386.0. "Reel-to-Reel Tape Suppliers" by UBOHUB::SKELT_J (Julian Skelt @UBO, DTN 781 1144) Tue Dec 01 1992 13:32

      I'm coming to the end of the stock of reel-to-reel tape that I bought 
      some years ago.
      
      Are there any shops in the Basingstoke area that sell it?  Reading/
      Southampton/Guildford is about as far as I'd want to travel for a 
      special journey, otherwise I'll wait until I'm next in London.
      
      I'm looking for Maxell in the following types and sizes:
      
      UD    1800'  7" reel
      UD    2400'  7" reel
      XL I  1800'  7" reel
      XL I  3600'  10.5" reel
      
      Names and addresses of any suppliers will be gratefully appreciated.
      
      I'd also be interested in recommendations for alternative 
      manufacturers.  Although I'm happy with the Maxell products it's about 
      10 years since I selected them and I'd like to hear of any technical 
      improvements since then.  My machines are a Sony TC377 2 track and a 
      Tascam 34 4 track.

386.1Top-tape?PEKING::GERRYTWed Dec 16 1992 16:359
    Hello julian,
    
    TOP-TAPE outlets used to do it.
    
    Perhaps a request in the 'home-studio' notes file might also be useful?
    
    Good-luck

386.2Yes they doPEKING::GERRYTMon Jan 04 1993 17:348
    Julian,
    
    Top Tape definitely do it...as they advertised in December's What hi-Fi
    magazine.
    If you let me know where you're based, i can let you have details of
    outlets etc.

386.3Tapes needed.CHEFS::UKARCHIVINGAustin Maxi, a car for the 90sWed Feb 21 1996 09:026
    Now a few years have passed since the last note, anyone any idea where
    I can get hold of 10.5" reel to reel tapes for my lovely Technics 4 track.
    
    Regards

386.4 �15.00 per 2400ft Reel + VAT = �17.63 CHEFS::POWELLMOn [email protected]Mon Mar 25 1996 12:388
    	I can help with this if you still need some tape.  I stock only
    BASF - the best anyway and they retail at �15.00 + VAT for 2400ft reels
    of 1/4" tape.  Call me on 7830-2716 up to 16:30 or evenings on
    01344-425200 (I run an audio cassette duplication and blank cassette
    supply company - Angel Talk Limited - during my own time).  I hope soon
    to start being able to create CDs.
