Hi guys.
I thought I would have a go at modding one of those cheapo Eagle tapes :frankenstein: - getting rid of the shittiriffic c15 tape
and reloading with some useable stuff that can be recorded onto 
Anyways here goes.....
The patient
Note the three plastic dots, cut these flush with the metal reel then careful prise the reel off. Theses reels bend 'reely'
easy - so keep as flat as possible.
Don't cut the rest of the posts down - keep them to reattach your 'new' reel.
Donor cassette.
Invert your metal reel faces, remount them on the remaining 'stumps' - dab a drop of superglue gel on each stump & remount. Use Superglue gel it's less messy.
Reverse of last piccy
Use a pair of snipe nose pilers to snap the clip back in.
I made my custom a leaderless cassette - instant recording - make sure your donor cassette is blank.
Again glue & remount the reel face.
Load your donor tape into your Eagle, Note the donor was a C90 - i had to insert into the reel.
I also used the TDK Pressure pad in my custom.
Wind to approx 32mins. Less if you want tape Flush with the reel.
Note how proud and overflowing, spilling over it is
I likey
Reattach, glue and remount t'other reel.
Looks good ehh!
Made a recording and that old TDK tape sounded sweet too.
Hope you enjoyed................
