Hmmm. No dusting seen on the side of the tapes. Nothing visible to the naked eye on either side of the tape. But with a 4 power magnifying glass white specks and threads can be seen on both sides, more on the oxide side than the other. I'm guessing mold in the early stages.

That really irritates me. Not only because my tape collection and deck have been compromised, but my vinyl has also. There are only 85 to 90 tape boxes and reels to clean. There are about 1700 records and associated equipment.

The next time I acquire a new tape it's going to be opened and inspected outside.
