I am holding one of those very 1/4 inch splicing dispensers in my hands now.....BUT, the label has fallen off, so I can't tell you who made them. I have a feeling it was EMTEC....but.....my memory fails me. Otherwise, I use the blue Quantegy tape and have it on a tape dispenser and just cut off what I need with a razor blade. I think the blue is archivally more acceptable and least sticky than the really handy dispenser one!
Cheers

Does anyone make/sell quarter-inch splicing tabs anymore? I'm talking about the white tabs you put over a splice-cut on quarter-inch tape. Back in the tape heyday, places like Gotham Audio used to give away tab dispensers at trade shows. I thought I had stockpiled enough, but no. I much prefer the tabs to regular blue splicing tape, tabs take much less time to peel and stick. I think someone still makes sheets of cassette-splicing tabs, so do the same folks make 1/4" versions?
