The only reason I got a new one was a few things started to loosen eg. The tape spool and my filler tube screw...

    Can a bazooka be run without a gooseneck? After 30 years, I finally get to test one for a month, but didn't come with gooseneck. Have a few pumps and box fillers lying around. Easy answer is to buy one,but I'm not sure I want to leave my SuperTaper behind. All tips, mod or hack appreciated.

    2bjr wanted me to post this vid, since someone commented on the youtube page, about how he advances the tape on the zook. They were telling him to use the wall to advance it. 2bjr always feeds his tape forward by hand, maybe 5% of the time using the wall. He has picked up his own little tricks...
