MULTI-PURPOSE CARTRIDGE RECORDING TAPE ADAPTER AND REPAIR TOOL ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A self-contained stereo component which serves as an adapter for converting a cartridge tape recorder to open reel operation which also serves as a tool for repairing damaged tape and for rewinding tape. In a preferred embodiment, the invention of the present design includes separately controllable DC motors driving turntables upon which supply and take-up reels of magnetic tape may be positioned. The tape passes through cartridge means having a configuration adapted to be inserted in the usual magnetic cartridge tape player in lieu of a cartridge, in order to permit the tape to be recorded or played by the cartridge tape recorder/player. Different drive currents may be supplied to the motors to reduce or increase torque requirements and insure proper winding and rewinding of the tape. Reels of tape may be positioned on any of the cartridge means or turntable means for rewinding or to position the recording surface of the tape in a particular orientation. Tape cartridges that have become damaged by the recorder/player unit, or wrapped too tightly, through normal usage, around the reel inside the cartridge may be repaired through various means of wrapping and unwrapping tape on appropriate reels and making the necessary splicings. Consequently, the present invention may simultaneously perform the functions of open reel-to-cartridge adaption and cartridge module tape repair.
