    anyone fooled around with soundproofing?

    Hi, I've heard of people using weatherstrips from home depot and places like that, and tape around the door to help keep the outside noise out. I also just found out about a site called soundprooffoam.com and their sound barrier products are alot more expensive and plus I'd only need about a 1/2 inch thick, 1 inch wide and about 10-15 ft. long just to help blocking out the noise, light, and wind coming from the outside. Any suggestions?

    soundproofing tapes

    Hi,A call to your local 3M technical representitive may be worth while as they have a huge range of tapes although I suspect almost any high density self adhesive foam tape would acheive an improvement.Are any of the areas you wish to seal exposed to the elements?If so a conventional weather barrier tape may be a better Idea.
    I suspect if you described the sound proofing tapes properties to the tech rep they could point you to an alternative.

      by kpodolski
      I have a Sony TCK-850ES tape deck. Overall, the unit is in great shape except for the fact that it is eating tapes. Specifically, it is acutally turning/twisting the tape while it plays. I've tried, gently, cleaning the pinch rollers and playback/recording head with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and swabs...

      by Kevin D
      So I was upgrading an old automation system I did, and told the customer I could sell the old stuff on Ebay.

      He then proceeded to drag all electronics out of the attic for me to sell on Ebay as well. The best was a Pioneer quad receiver, a Teac quad reel to reel player, and maybe 100...
