Carl, Topline offers a flexible tape reel splicer that can be adjusted to fit any size tape available. I have used one in the past and was very successful using it. Topline's information is below if you need it. Topline P.O.

I have seen one and it is manufactured by Seimens Corporation, but I would like to see what else is out there before we make a decision. If anyone has any recommendations please contact me.
