Sounds like you and Steve Smolian and karl, should get together and they can solve your distribution problems... j/k
My archive just bought a about 50 screw type tapes because we needed the felt pads for fused tape types. We deal with tapes which come from jungles and little bugs like eat that felt. We just transplant the old tape into the new housings. Most times we get accessions on the order 5 tapes but sometimes there might be as many as 80 tapes.
I looked at the link to that blog post and learned a new trick... thanks.
