NickM	Re: Roland RE201 Space Echo I have an old SRE-555 I think the tape path is similar. There are two bearing in the guides from where the tape exits and enters the heads, with felt pads on them. The bearing on my unit had stoped turning. Check them out it improved my unit. Every little bit counts. As for tapes cut and splice a old 8 track cartridge tape it's the same width. Just use the old tape as a guide. The splice on the roland tapes are uneven.
