RMGI have revived the EMTEC (nee BASF) tape range. I'd definitely go with their SM 911 tape, or it's 1 thou opposite number, LPR 35, as replacements for 456. Both available on a wide range of reels and pancakes. I'm not certain if 8 1/4" reels are in the range though. (Are these the same as the NAB-hub Ampex aluminium reels I have? They only can hold as much tape as a conventional 7 inch plastic reel.) Both of these tape types are available on 7 inch plastic reels though.
