First Try At Ironing Tape
You guys are way too paranoid; I have a tape that I would rather keep in decent shape by not peeling away what doesn't need to be peeled away. Nothing other than that. After all this, the tape sounds no better anyway, maybe passes the head easier, but there is no improvement I can hear. |

On severely "accordioned" tapes, I've only had one success story, and it was on Ampex tape...the "heated spoon" technique worked well enough to where only a couple of minor high frequency dropouts were apparent. Most of the time, however, while the cart will function OK, there's some loss of signal. |

So, if he wants some advice, I'm more than willing to share whatever I have. What pains me is that Noodles will read all this and then pass it off as being his own later. |

I'm laughing so hard, I can barely type ! (lol)
I've been around here a lot longer than you, too. So go away. And besides, who are you to answer questions on the 8-track format, when you did not indulge and immerse yourself in it back in the heyday of the 1960-70's ? seems any knowledge you claim to have, was only copied from the net here- and you are simply "parrot-ing" that back to anyone who asks a question your choice of decks speaks volumes, and attests to your 8-track ignorance- you only own 2 DC powered decks. the VW's of 8-track decks.... |
