I have a Fujica Single 8 splicer that works very well, but I have run out of tape. The tape I was using came on a reel and had perforations for the sprocket holes already punched out. The tape wraps around both sides of the film, covering two frames on each side, so there are two long holes pre-punched per splice. Does anyone know if the tape advertised above is the correct kind? Alternately, can anyone refer me to a place where I could buy what I need?

I believe this is correct for your splicer Marshall however these tapes are seldom seen anywhere now.

Check with Edwin first that these are correct with your model number but I am almost certain they will be correct.

If you intend sticking by this type of splicer I would stock up if I were you as these are no longer found easily anywhere nowadays.

One hundred splices ought to last me into the next world, but that thought did definitely occur to me!

I use loads of splices due to transferring films temporarily onto big spools, so for me, 100 usually lasts only a few months.

As you are only using a small amount Marshall it sounds like these will be a good investment for your splicer.

For anyone who uses lots of splices like I do, the Hama type (Agfa FS8) and CIR splices and splicers are about the best two to own as tapes for both of these remain readily available still and usually cost 10p per splice or less.

Both produce very accurate and strong splices.

Please see the Index Tables / parts catalogue @ Van Eck Video:

http://www.van-eck.net/itable.php?lang=en&size=0&cat=plakpers&merk=none&type=none

Here per splicer the correct tape / kit is shown.

The fujica splicing tape http://winkel.van-eck.net/SF-0002.html works very fine for the tape splicers who need pre-perforated tape.

We have fujica splicing tape on stock again!
(also for the CIR and Agfa splicers, etc)

The Fuji splicer is a fine unit, so it's great news that Edwin has the tapes for sale once again.
The last time I bought some I had to import from the U.S.

I was surprised to see Edwin has these also. Great news indeed, I thought the Fuji splices were done for good. [Smile]

Ordered a roll of these and happily they were just what I needed. So I ordered two more.
