I vote for raw, and the tape flip over gap at actual length. ie you have to wait through the tape flipping portion. No to patching with the soundtrack from another source, but can fill this tape flip void or other missing segments with something phun. And please leave in the over-recorded segment, curious what was so important or a complete accident.

I agree with this

+1. You could fill the gap with sound effects of a cassette tape being ejected, flipped over and restarted, even.
