You'd be attaching the start of the new tape to the end of the old tape to 
pull the new tape through the frame, correct?

Any kind of adhesive tape will work for that; it's only temporary and 
doesn't have any audio application---unless you cut the new tape in the 
wrong spot, in which case you'll need a lot of real splicing tape, or a new 
set of tapes...:-(

I think the last time I replaced a set of tapes, I used some waste adhesive 
label paper where some CD labels came from and cut little strips.

M400 #805 - has had the strip treatment
M400 #1037 - needs to be stripped
