Re: Vintage Tape Machines and Attitudes
I cannot detect any deterioration in any of my VHS collection dating from roughly 1988-1999, despite less than ideal storage conditions from time to time. Mainly TDK and Maxell.
As I understand it audio tape machines from Germany which were only really good enough for the spoken word, were developed by the US after the war into something quite spectacular in terms of sound quality. I have heard a transmission of music on one of the American machines (via digital TV) and it was very good indeed.
