How to open a non-screwed cassette in order to carry out any necessary repairs (reattaching leader ribbon or pressure pad repair) without the need to transfer tape to another shell.
********************************************************************
Your were listening to an old “demo tape”. All tracks originally recorded on a Fostex reel-to-reel machine ( 8 -track tape), then transferred to 4-track audio cassette.
**********************Musical credits: **************************
All tracks written by Todd Kennedy & Stewart Gray
All vocals, Todd Kennedy
Guitar, Stewart Gray
Bass, Stewart Gray
Keyboards & Synths (Yamaha PF80, Roland MKS-50 Synthesizer Module), Stewart Gray
Drum machine programming (Roland R-8), Stewart Gray
Produced by Stewart Gray
Additional equipment used (for guitar): Rockman X100
Songs are in the following order:
“Take me to the Top”, 1994 demo audio cassette
*“Mandi”, 1994 demo audio cassette
“One more night”, 1994 demo audio cassette
Tips:
Use a good pocket knife with a quality edge ( swiss army , etc…)
Use a guitar pick ( medium thickness)
Use instant bonding glue
Use as little glue as possible
Avoid touching any internal components with bare hands!
Always have spare parts available from “donor cassettes” as well.

Brilliant! Thanks so much. I have tapes going back many years of radio recordings that are very special to me and of stuff that is unavailable elsewhere. Inevitably time takes its toll on the mechanics of the case. Ones with screws were easy to repair but this tells me how to deal with non-screwed cassttes. A life saver for some treasured music and speech. Thank you.

Thanks a bunch for this; COVID quarantine has been a good time to reminisce with my cassettes but have had a few accidents with some. Nice to know that there are at least 3K other people out there who still listen to cassettes!

I had an Elton John cassette with bad tape and wanted to replace it with fresh tape recorded from a good quality source. This cassette had no leader (no clear tape at the ends, brown tape directly to the hubs). Usually I splice the tape at the leader/magnetic tape transition and wind the new tape in the old shell. Since this one had no leader I had to go directly to the hubs to replace the bad tape. Your video enabled me to open the tape without destroying it and repair it like a new tape. Thank you very much! Have a beer, you deserve it!

I needed something like this. I have a Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Experience cassette and the tape was stuck on one side. This helped me get it fixed and now it runs well, good thing too because I didn't want to trash it. Update: the tape works, a song or two fade or sound warbly, but at least I can still listen to it

YOU do not have to pry the case appart to replace the pad. I cue back to the leader tape then just use a pen tip to pull the leader from infront of the pad metal. Use peal and stick foam pads or if you can find the right material a tiny dab of some shoe goo or other flexible glue (not elmers or other glues that will peal off of metal. simply push the pad lightly in place, line up and press it against the plastic case. Some cassettes can have a metal square behind the flexible tab with the felt pad. No need to take apart the cassette UNLESs theres other problems like it is sticking due to the glide inserts being worn. I have cassette tapes from the late 1970s and mid 80's that play fine. Some do get 'muddy' from the high end gain fading away. Head ALIGNMENT can help as my experince is one side to the other of a production cassette or a home recording can be off alignment from different record heads. Usually one side the right screw on a head has a spring behind it and can be turned while playing to get a crisper playback to make a digital copy , then re-align for the other side.

Hey what can I do if my tape is stuck on one side? The tape band inside is now tore apart from the other side, they are not connected, so casettte doesnt run. Is it a problem of casette or casette player? And how can I connect the tape band/ribbon/ strip with the one which is empty now.

@TheEncyclopediaofPopCulture 2 no gluing necessary on the empty reel!! Look closely at the empty reel and you will see a minuscule notch ( very small) ....with a tiny rod in the notch!! Push the rod out and insert end of tape in! Note : it is very tricky to then snap back the rod and impinged tape end into the slot. Not impossible though!!! Cheers KZbin audio cassette lovers!!!

you can just reseal with sellotape but make sure it's quality tape and that you firmly seal it. I recommend puting a small bit of tape on first to check that the tape plays ok and no other work is required and then add more tape trying to avoid sticking on the paper labels.

Ok but tape will degrade much sooner than super glue. Over time, the degradation will result in a “yellowing “ and fragmentation of the tape. I m certain the super glue is much more permanent :)

@@silvermymothergaveme Well it's still going to take a few years for that to happen if they're stored in a cool place and you can easily spot check your sellotape and replace any weakened areas. The biggest advantage is if the music tape snaps, or it starts squeeking etc you can get in there much quicker to fix it and not damage/destroy the original casing Great video BTW 👍
