I need to know if anybody knows where I can get a 1/8 inch Editall (or
similar) splicing block either new or in good condition.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't find one there.

Such a narrow tape is not very rigid, you could try to freehand the
operation along one side of a standard splicing block. It will probably
blurb a little .... but considering the actual real world quality and head
contact stability my choice would be not to care to much and just get it
done.

Thanks

Kind regards

I've had no problem doing it myself.

1. Isolate the damaged area of tape.

2. Cut out the damaged section by making a 45 deg cut 1/2 inch to
either side of it.

3. Put the damaged cassette aside for a moment, and cut yourself a
small sliver of Scotch brand invisible tape(preferably the glossy
type, which is smoother and will negotiate the capstans & heads). The
piece should be no longer than 1/3" and slightly less than 1/8" thick
- remember what it's being used to hold together here.

4. Line up both 45deg ends of the tape as evenly as possible and hold
on a clean surface(blank piece of paper or clean cloth), and gingerly
place the piece of invisible tape over the splice. Press down firmly
to seal the splice in place - DON'T rub!! Flip over the splice and
place a similar sized piece of invisible tape on the opposite side.
Press down to seal the whole shebang.

5. Grab a butter knife or writing instrument thick enough and
carefully spool excess tape & the splice back up into the cassette
shell.

I've rarely every had these jam, and typically I notice a slight
degrade in sound quality/volume leading up to the splice. Or if it's
a new cassette or one you don't play often, you will hear the affect
of a skip on a record, and not much else.
