The width of the original tape is about .330". Although gaffer's tape is a very close substitute, that width is simply not available.
So..... Creative lathing ensues. Place roll of three inch gaffer's tape in the lathe and set up a new razor blade in the tool holder.... Look at that nice clean cut. It's the dark one that's barely visible. 90 rpm and the blade cut in neatly. Now I have some tape to work on Byron's /6 harness. Attached thumbnail(s)
