They don’t, since the pencil is too thin (using your pinky has the same effect). Use a bic pen or a german/japanese pencil and then you can rewound the tape proper.
HAHA so you listen to one, while you rewind another
come on my friend! pretend its the 80s again and you can’t afford TWO tape decks, so if you don’t want to wait you gotta spin that tape for a few songs…
you know this is why we made mix tapes… and those 120 minute tapes were the shit
mhm no, the bic pen / german/japanese pencil are do actually block the return motion, it wont result in slippage. The american pencil is so thin that it at best can grap onto one or two spokes.
Nah. You don’t want it to rotate, you want to move your hand in a small circle.
You use the wood right before the exposed lead and maintain pressure toward the outside of the spool. The pen clip cap from a Bic or a partially unbent paper clip worked even better than a pencil.

ya just need to tilt the tape to a different angle dude!
even then you will get slippage.
its not like you got anything better to do…
Huh, what you mean? I simply enjoy cassettes.

shit and unreliable, yeah. C-60 or at most C-90s
Is it slippage or the natural result of something smaller having to turn more than one revolution to cover the same distance?

exactly. and even better is a german/japanese pencil as they fit the inner spool perfectly.

You hold the pencil and twirl the cassette around on it.
I used to use some felt-tip pens, perfect fit.
