Thanks for the confirmation.  I put an order into US Recording Media
and it should be here in a day or two.

Yes - the idea was to use a bit of splice tape to pull the new one through
and then join each of the old pieces together on a takeup reel.

I did some tuneup/repair work on my Tron and I'll post some bits in

earth-shattering; hopefully to make it easier for others).
