Hello all. I was given about 30 10.5" Revox tapes. Some are black reels, some are gray. Does anyone know if one is older than the other? Is one higher quality? The black reels seem to run perfectly, no squeal, flutter, degrading Mylar, etc... The grays are hit and miss. Didn't know if this is coincidental or is in fact a reason. |

I had only one of those. It was black. Squealed like a banshee :-) |

Idiotic advice to dump the tape. |
