Hi Steve,
Because VHS tapes have no metallic stop stipes, the new tape (VHS) has to be
connected with the end-pieces of the old tape.
VHS tapes were controlled with transparent end-pieces.
I remember at my post where I point to the stripe in the video.

Indeed, as I stated, I did it. It wouldn't have worked if I hadn't. I recall applying stick on metal strip from a roll that sold for such tape recording purposes.
