<BODY><P>welcome back.</P>
<P>I found a betamax tape by calling up one of those private video-editing / services shops (you know "cheap PAL conversions, we do weddings, etc."). Their reply was "what? why would you want one of those? We've got a pile collecting dust in the back room..."</P>
<P>Then a can of blue paint will do the trick. </P>
<P>BTW, in order to pull the harness ropes through properly, you'll need to drill some holes through the tape. In order to do THAT, you need to open it up and remove the insides (tape spools), and may even need some glue to keep some parts in place.</P>
<P>have fun!</P>
