I still have my card of IBM foil strips, but sensing foil for 1/4" audio tape should also work fine. For example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202810140272?hash=item2f386d2670:g:y4UAAOSw8fdduA74 Many (but not all) audio sensing tapes are reflective; some are conductive-only. TME claims theirs is reflective. --Chuck
