This is a question Old stuff I still know

Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

I used to take apart two audiocassettes
and, with a hobby knife and extra-thin adhesive tape, splice extra audiotape from one into the other to increase the runtime. Sometimes I'd selectively remove some of the plastic pegs and things from inside to fit the larger tape reels in.

This trick was very good for dubbing overly-long records, multiple albums, or long radio events onto a single cassette. I think my record was getting two full hours of tape into one 60-minute cassette.

you could have bought a C120 cassette.....

not a good idea
C120s were thinner material and stretched easily

Plus
in my area shop a C120 was more expensive than two C60s, and I was usually broke anyway.
