Re: bulk eraser increases tape hiss!

Make sure you erase both sides of the tape, and remove the tape from the eraser's field (2-3feet) before shutting off the eraser. Make sure no other tapes are near that field either! Increased noise either means a defective bulk eraser or improper technique.

I used a Garner belt eraser in a professional setting some years ago, and despite a magnetic field strong enough to pull the keys out of your pocket, some tapes required more than one pass to be completely cleaned.
