Needs to repair some VHS tapes - which broke inside the machine. Looking high and low in Singapore for the 3M splicing tape - apparently, that went extinct quite a while ago. Does anybody knows where I can locate a shop / website in USA or Canada or Australia (I have relatives and friends in those countries) who sells 3M magnetic splicing tapes? Thank you.

You should inquire with Christy's Editorial Supply in Burbank, California. If they don't have it and it still exists, they may know where to get it.

Thanks, Dan. I have dropped them an email and keeping fingers crossed :-).

Just type "splicing tape" into eBay's search and you'll find heaps of splicing tape and blocks to choose from. I don't know if any of it is specifically 3M but whatever you need to splice you should find a suitable alternative there.
