ABSTRACT:
An eight track tape alignment instrument for selective application to and use between the tape cartridge receiving cavity and the tape cartridge of conventional magnetic tape players so as to wedgingly apply uniform pressure between the cartridge wheel and the capstan and cause travel of the magnetic tape past and proper alignment thereof relative to the decoding and electronic sound converting head to prevent slow and non-uniform travel or malfunctioning of the tape and misalignment of the latter relative to the head creating crosstalk problems and thereby insuring of quality reproduction through the speakers. The instrument is preferably plastic, and is small, light, relatively short and narrow, and wedge-shaped so as to be grasped between the index finger and thumb and the tapered end thereof selectively inserted between the front face of the cartridge and the walls of its cavity and pushed inwardly to correct any misalignment between the cartridge wheel and capston.
