Scotch Tape
« on: Tuesday 03 November 15 22:56 GMT (UK) »
Hi 
      I'm not sure if this is the right area to place this request, but any help is appreciated.
While helping to clear out my Aunt's house we found seven movie reels which we have left to
be developed, we also found an old audio tape which the local camera shop is unable to advice on where to go to have it transferred to disc. I should say this tape is from 1964 and i live in Dublin.
                        Thanks Colm

In North America 'Scotch tape' is what we call cello tape in the U.K. so you might want to change the title to avoid confusion  ;D

Scotch tape is also used in UK for cello tape, but think it could be a brand name

The sticky stuff is called sellotape!

OP was referring to reel-to-reel tapes ;D

I know what the sticky stuff is called but it is only when one reads the thread that the subject matter is understandable.

It's actually Reel to Reel Tape info that is wanted.

But anyway, does it matter "REELY " - it's all academic, and the poster has some Dublin sources now!

Thanks everyone and sorry for the confusion. After posting i had a brainwave and used a new
invention called Google and found a few companies around Dublin.
