Enjoy.

They're out of Seattle and they are reasonably priced (for the most part). I've used them off and on
over the years when I've been in Seattle. They often have what other places do not.

You cannot.

You MIGHT be able to get in on the SPARS order for Quantegy.

It's possible you'll be able to order from several sources within six
months.

But right now, you cannot.

And, you're buying a pig in a poke. A lot of the tape on ebay is not
exactly as represented.

This was just posted on the U. S. Recording Media web site
(http://www.usrecordingmedia.com naturally) today:

UPDATE:::: Mar 10, 2005: The larger format tape (2", 1", 1/2") is
completely out of stock. Quantegy's manufacturing is keeping their
guys busy, but there probably won't be any more large format Quantegy
tape ever. The new owners will most likely have a new name and they'll
decide what tape will be made and what won't. You could probably count
on 456 and GP9 for sure. We're told by Quantegy that there's tape
scheduled to be shipped after April 1. But the new owners will be in
charge by then most likely and they'll be calling the shots.
Also, there definitely will be new studio quality open reel audio tape
made here in Pennsylvania with the first tape being available probably
in late May 2005 if not sooner. As soon as we have this tape available
to you, it'll be posted on this web site. They're going to be making
very good tape for almost everyone in the studio through broadcast,
government, and even the home recordist. We feel everything from the
new tape boxes through the sound and slitting of the tape is going to
have a "classic" touch to it.

I knew that Quantegy was in the market for a new owner. Apparently
there's been some progress and someone has come up with a plan and
money.

In the meantime, these people still have 2" Quantegy 456 and GP9 in
their on-line catalog and it doesn't balk when you add it to your "shopping
cart." I didn't go as far as to make an actual purchase so I don't know
if it would stop there. http://www.thetapecompany.com/quantegy.html

http://www.tapetape.com sells used tape that's usually quite good, and
they'll take it back if it isn't (but test it first before you use it on that famous
artist's session). Their current listing has several reels of 2" tape available.
I'd go with them before I went to an eBay seller. At least TapeTape knows
what they're selling and has some idea of the condition. Their on-line
ordering system seems to be hosed at the moment. I'd make a phone
call.
