Are Agfa splicing tapes suitable for the wurker splicer? MIKE

No, but Wurkers are still available-- and the similar Hama, too-- which both supposedly work in the Agfa as well.

Are you sure Jim,
I have a wurker and an Agfa splicer and they both quite happily use the Hama splices. I think the type of splice that covers 4 frames would work on the Worker. In terms of cost my experience is that the Hama splices can be obtained cheaper in the UK than the Wurker, though only the Wurker can leave the balance stripe uncovered

Hamas can be used on the Wurker, but as to Agfas being interchangeable with the other two, not sure. The Agfa has that automatic spring-over so the paper backing has to be similar if not identical.
But you know, the original Agfa splices are so rare and sought-after that Wurkers or Hamas would be a better bet. I don't think the Agfas have been made in years...

Trust me Jim the agfa automatic splicer works very well with the Hama splices. I also have an Agfa non automatic splicer somewhere but the automatic works so nicely it's the only splicer I use. It may be sacreligous but I prefer the Agfa Automatic over the Wurker,
