Tony/all, Yes, the little squares were what I have used before, they're pre-holed to make it easy to realign overtop. That si what I am looking to source, ideally comercially-produced if they exist. ASR 33 use. I'd be happy with a small qty if anyone has these for sale or trade. Maybe I will ask green keys list, just thought of that, doh! Someone there might be able to help. Regarding the tape in question I do have a previously-punched backup tape for "everyday" use, I do not plan to actually use the ripped original unless there is no other choice. I just want to repair it for archival purposes. Thanks Bill
