    "They're absolutely awesome!! They peel with ease, making the process much easier!!" - Actual customer comment


    Many open reel tapes are approaching $100 in value, so why not apply a sensing tab that is designed for the use and will not fall off and goo up your tape?  These professional Studio Grade™ tabs are real aluminum for the best performance, and even the adhesive is conductive, allowing the tabs to be overlapped if desired to make a super long tab, and still be conductive.

    TME® Professional open reel deck sensing foil is now custom made in USA specifically for open reel tape sensing to TME® specifications. It is real, highly conductive aluminum foil with a non-oozing aerospace electrically conductive adhesive. Almost every other foil we see being sold as open reel sensing foil is "vapor evaporated aluminized plastic" hobby tape, which is plastic coated with aluminized paint to make it shiny.

    Sensing foil is used on any audio tape deck using foil for auto reverse and/or auto stop sensing like some TEAC® models, and program change on 8-track tape decks. Note: No, it will not *turn* your open reel deck into a reversing or auto-stop deck if it's not designed to do those functions! (We had to say that.)

    The tabs are on backing release plastic much wider than the foil to make it easy to remove the foil tab with a media blade or Xacto knife.  No more searching for the very end of the roll!   If you have an application where you need a longer foil tab than the tabs are cut to, simply overlap them and the tabs' proprietary electrically conductive adhesive will close the circuit.

    Note: When re-joining the ends of an 8-Track tape repair, make sure you rub off the tape ends to remove any lubricant that may be on the tape.  This lubricant is used to keep the tapes from binding in the cartridge.
