    tapes sometimes come a bit loose and you use a pencil or your finger to roll the tape reel back into the plastic cover.

    I remember doing that, but I'm not sure if I can remember actually needing to do that.

    ... er. Read the link, now I remember why. Yep, sure did. Ah, the foibles of older machinery...

    Nope, it isn't. If you've never used audio cassettes you will never know the link between them.

    We used pens to rewind/forward the cassettes. It saved on battery power. I think it was also used when the film became loose and had to be rolled back into the cassette.

    Still obvious?

    I had my own way of doing this. Instead of having the tape still and rolling the pen in the hole, I would hold the pen still and make the whole tape rotate around it, all with one hand. Faster & More Fun.
    Did anyone else used to do that ?
