Re: tape cartridge for Roland RE 201?

["Larry Tremblay" <ltct@concentric.net>]

"Dry tape" may work, too. But I was advised against it many
years ago when I originally bought my RE-201.

I hear too that the old 8-track tape gauge works
well. It may even be more compatible than regular
1/4" AND it's the lubricated type of tape used by the
201.
