There are at least three manufacturers of RTR tape....RTM in France, ATR in the USA and Splicit in the USA (who outsource). All the tapes are of very high quality.

The problem with RTR is that it was always pretty expensive to begin with...and the machines are complex mechanical beasts. It will never be "cheap" even if there is a revival.
