Re: [ARSCLIST] easy way to reverse tape?
Especially if it has splices- the long path the half twist will take
will cause less trauma.

Another nice thing to do is have a dedicated machine for this. I have
an old TEAC with the head block removed so the tape won't snag.

Yup, just give it a half twist as you thread it in the machine. Those
were the
instructions in the old Scotch tape boxes when some machines took
B-wind and
you bought A-wind tape.
