I seem to have lost the post I want to reply to. I am
sure some one mentioned that Martin had enough tape to
last 10 years. Have EMI stopped making it? It's going
to be another 3 years before I can afford mine. How
long does a tape set usually last?

Martin's statement was in SOS's review of the M4000.  In a related question, 
what other tape options are there (for the future)?  Of course, we all want 
the best (e.g., EMI).  My impression is that Martin was comparing EMI to 
Quantegy 456.  What about Quantegy 499 or GP9.  RMGI is also manufacturing BASF/Emtec 
900/901.  Are any of these at least comparable to EMI tape for Mellotron 
tapes?
