Vintage masking tape

[Ellery]

Either Gear Galore of L.A. has a great sense of humor or are really hopeful people, perhaps a combination of both?

 

[Ellery]

I wouldn’t buy a single thing from that shop.

I understand this sentiment, but think about it... if someone did buy it, is it really the shop's fault?

 

[Ellery]

If this actually does sell maybe they're laundering money?

so funny I had to “watch”

 

[Steadfast]

Knew I would find a sucker. I will throw shipping in with a full price offer. Lololol

I heard that Jaco removed the tape from his bass with a butter knife.

I'm thinking of adding this mod to my Squier Affinity, but I'm worried that it might affect the value of the instrument.

I'm also wondering about the shipping cost. It seems rather low. I don't want to cheap out and cut corners on something like this.

I'd jump on that!

 

[DJ Bebop]

There is only a small piece because the rest was chopped up and smoked. That's the real value.

Was 65 a transitional year for tape?
It could be post CBS?

 

[Passinwind]

If it were 5 mil tape I’d be all over it.

Pic?

LOL! Just picture this with blue masking tape holding the cord down:

I actually own some vintage masking tape.

It's an old, original song list from one of my first bands, with the original masking tape that held the song list to the mic stand. It's odd, I don't remember some of the songs on the list, and it appears that there were some original songs. Gary's song and Neils song. I'm also not sure how we could have possibly played Saturday in the Park. We had a Sax player, and we had a keyboard player, but never at the same time. Weird.

In any event, I'm holding on to my vintage tape. It's probably going to go up in value before too long...

Have you looked at the shop's other listings?

How is this still available? BRB.

High End Masking Tape described below. WIKI

Tapes based on polyimide films can resist molten solder in electronics applications.

High performance thermally conductive polyimide film
DuPont™ Kapton® MT+ polyimide film is a homogeneous film possessing over 3x the thermal conductivity of standard Kapton® HN, while retaining the strong mechanical and dielectric properties you expect from a polyimide film.

Kapton® MT+ offers the highest thermal conductivity of any polyimide film on the market and offers excellent breakdown voltage, mechanical resilience, and flexibility to make it an ideal substrate to incorporate into an electrically isolating thermal solution for your electronic or automotive application.

Performance:

• Thermal conductivity of 0.8 W/m·K
• Dielectric barrier of 5 kV/mil

Applications:

• Lithium-ion Battery cell/pouch wrap
• Electric motor slot liner
• Heater circuits
• Power supplies
• Ceramic board replacement
• Thermally conductive flex circuits

Kapton® MT+ film dramatically improves heat dissipation of the new slot insulation systems

Oh brother, do you have a good point! I just looked. They are really throwing down the gauntlet! $250 for a pitted 80's Schecter tele bridge? $1800 for a 60's pickup that looks like they found it in the sewer? These guys sure have high hopes... or are just plain high...

Now it says "Listing Suspended".

 

[dwizum]

Now it says "Listing Suspended".

For those who don't know, suspended basically means that Reverb thinks it doesn't meet their guidelines:

[mjydrafter]

I knew it, I should have bought it to avoid disappointment and future regret!

Maybe they'll relist it.
