Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

Be careful of those old tapes

Many older high-output tapes suffer from "sticky shed syndrome". I've actually built an "oven" to deal with that... Two 100 watt light bulbs on a dimmer, and two thermometers. 1/4" tapes need about four hours at 133 degrees F, then they're good for about 3 weeks.
