Entry 17th April 2018: Post: 3


Try doing that with a CD

So I have these rather dubious tapes that have hand written names
scrawled all over them and you can only imagine what is recorded
on them. Problem is that you have to literally play the whole
tape to find out what is on them. Anywhoo... I had a few that
were broken and decided to mend them and see what was on them.

Seriously this is where tape runs literal stringy rings around
a busted CD, USB or hard drive... and maybe even the floppy
Cus with very little effort you can be listening to your favourite
George Michael tape in no time, albeit with a bit missing



Someone's beloved Speccy games.. Busted

Five screws and we are in

The tape is broken inside

Looks like a previous repair

What's needed is two soft rubbers
and some Selotape.

I found big rubbers very good for
holding the tape in place. Then
stick you tape to the surface and
then run it down over the tape

With the tape and Selotape in
place use a cutting implement
such as a blade or old razor

Cut either side and don't leave
any sticky over. Be precise.

Job done

Great thing about most cassettes is
that they screwed back together

Razor blades. An architects eraser
If you have ever drawn on tracing
sheets and need to make a change
you would use a razor blade to literally
scratch out the lines. Takes a little
time to get it right without cutting
the paper. But works very well

Here is one with a masking tape handle

And the rubber is used to clean
the surface after a scratch out

OK back to the tape... Tried the +2 and no luck

Need better control of the sound output

My goodness... where did that come from ?

Crazy game. You have the simple job
of jumping up through the holes as
they move along. Thing is if you
miss time your jump you are dazed
and very likely will fall through
a hole in the platform you are on

As ever got hooked

Always more than one game on one
of these home made cassettes

Great game this. Have the original

Magazine stuff

Gulp !!

Time to stop this Speccy game fest

So simple a concept. Just track your
way through the rooms and find the
keys avoiding the goblins and ghosts

And keyboard as the main option

Certainly a load more fun and personal
reward when you can fix stuff. Like I
say , pretty pointless with a busted CD
