Avid cassette collectors know that felt pressure pads are prone to falling off vintage cassette tapes. While a seemingly simple component, this piece is essential for playing tapes as it properly presses the magnetic ribbon in the cassette tape against the tape head in the cassette player. Playing a cassette tape that doesn't have the felt pad present can damage both your tape and player, so it is wise to replace this piece if it is missing, damaged or loose.
We have created a simple kit of 30 felt pressure pads with pre-applied adhesive and tweezers to make replacing this piece a breeze.

I highly recommend these! They came in very quick. I had several tapes that were missing their pads and these sound great for replacements! I highly recommend.
I ordered two sets of pressure felt pads. They areived within 2 weeks to Germany. I've successfully resuscitated 20 cassettes already. The self adhesive solution works wonders and the material itself is good quality. Funnily enough, I wasn't able to find ANY other available pressure felt pads. I will definitely buy a few sets again.
Everything perfect! Just an idea: You don't need new tweezers all the time. Maybe a 60 pack without tweezers for the same price...? Thank you for the great things you are doing!
I bet that these do work, saying that I was successful with putting it on and having it stay on, but before I could listen to Somewhere in Time, the white part of the cassette disconnected, and I can't grab it because the cassette doesnt have screws. Its not the products fault, I bet if it didn't snap I could hear Wasted Years, but the tape decided otherwise.
My very first attempt at replacing a long-gone felt pressure pad was a complete success with these pads. They have a quality feel and look to them. Very good adhesion. Tweezers are just right, and the instructions provided are crystal clear. The repair could not have been easier.
This is a life saver among cassette enthusiasts. Sometimes receive tapes from other shops that don’t have the felt pads inside, so this would help a lot. Appreciate that they have adhesive on them and also love that includes a pair of tweezers as well. Managed to fix five tapes in my collection, they work and sound great again! If you collect and enjoy using cassettes, then this is a must!
Good to have these around. Some cassettes are a bit finicky with the replacement felt pads because it's a little rough around the edges. I sanded the top a bit to make it a little smoother for the tape to sound less wobbly.
I recommend these. For someone that is new to cassette DIY it's easy to do.
