Philips EL-3400 VTR

Ebay has revealed I can get ten foot rolls of emery tape in 240, 320 and 400 grit for $25 a roll. The tool shop in town can order it in up to 600 grit in a $22 50' roll but I'm waiting for a response back on if they can order them by the box or if they have to come in a case of ten rolls (hell no).

Any last words before I tape up the parts of the drum I don't want touched and clear coat the thing?

So after a final cleaning the drum was taped up and a light clear coat layer was put on. We shouldn't have to worry about corrosion again.




I then took a sharp blade and scored the edge of the tape I had put around the drum. There wasn't a need to coat that as well because it still needs to be sanded but now we wait for the emery tape to come in.

These caps are very reliable and sell for good money on Ebay. Keep them in every case!
