[NJARC] Need splicing tape

[William S Zukowski]

I'll go with the right stuff as I'd like the tape to last - it's what you might call "vintage". 

New alignment tapes are expensive, and buying a used one could be a waste of money not knowing if it was properly cared for.  Alignment tapes should be pampered and treated with respect (sort of what I didn't do tonight!).

Plus, I'll have 79 feet, 11 inches left to splice more tapes!
