Show THE HERALD. Provo. Utah, Sunday, September Page F6 27, 1992 Audio cassette tape repair possible, but not easy Album combines original ska musicians in Chicago Tribune Special Beat Live ; Receiver Records ; - Grade: Tape companies we spoke with admitted they could be persuaded to repair precious videotapes, but usually not audio tapes. American-base- d 3M will consider repairing video tapes based on their content and the veracity of your story. This is a goodwill gesture, since 3M tapes (ScotchBlackwatch) rarely fail because of defective materials or manufacturing. If your audio cassette tape breaks in you can buy cassette splicing kits at Radio Shack. Other audio dealers also sell cassette splicers. You cannot splice videotape. Now, back to your immediate problem. If your cassette is screwed together, carefully unscrew the screws and put them in a safe place. Remove and analyze the empty hub. Manufacturers use different techniques to secure the leader tape to the hub: either a pin, a wedge or a clamp. Release (or slide outopen) the restraint and reinsert the tape, making sure that the end of the tape does not stick out the other side. This will cause a hump in the hub resulting in varying tape speed. If your tape is in a welded shell you can perform drastic surgery. Break open the shell, being careful not to damage the tape. Reattach the tape to the hub (or splice the By RICH WARREN one band Q. I am the victim of an audio cassette. The tape wasn't connected to the hub at the end of side A. Instead of it simply ran out, the way tape used to in the old days. I now have a I can't tape play, since I can't get into the housing to reattach the tape to the hub. What do people normally do when a cassette breaks? A. You have a few options, none of them easy. Most cassette shells are screwed together so that you can open them to repair the tape. Your letter implies that your cassette is one of those sonically welded types that can't be opened. The first lesson: Never buy cassettes that are not screwed together. If the contents of the tape are not important, return the tape to the dealer or manufacturer for a replacement. Most quality, brand name cassettes have a lifetime limited warranty. If the tape contains your baby's first words, or the only Bruce Springsteen concert broadcast on the radio in a decade, you might prevail on the tape manufacturer to repair the tape. Considering the manufacturer makes about a profit on the tape, it's not eager to invest several dollars in repair. auto-reversin- g, A- - Rick Anderson The current popularity of ska reggae's sweaty, galloping can be traced predecessor directly back to several early 1980s albums by the Specials and the English Beat. Sadly, those bands broke up after only a few years, but their legacy lives on in the Special Beat, a posthumous union of musicians from both bands. They will be coming in concert to Orem High School on Oct. 3, and I can't recommend them strongly enough; their show in Salt Lake City last year was one of the ;two best concerts I've ever at- - reel-to-re- I , On Music Do you miss the Byrds?
