Good Ole Fashioned tape looping

[Steven Dubofsky <skullsaw@gti.net>]

I haven't seen any posts relating to reel to reel looping, is anyone stil 
doing this? Last year I sold both of my reel to reels, I miss them and am 
considering getting back into tape looping. Has anyone managed to come up 
with a single machine system? Would this work; signal hit the record 
head, using some kind of tape tension kluge, pull the tape some distance 
away from the machine, pre-capstan, so that the distance between the 
record and playback heads is increased. I've been messing with a Dokorder 
that I picked up a couple of weeks ago and it seems to me this could 
work. Any ideas?

thanks
