Default Re: Quadruplex 2 inch tape

It could be a reel of audio tape - 14" reels were often used by TV companies as you could fit an hours programme on a single tape. In fact, they were sometimes run at 7.5ips to give 2 hours running time. I wish they had shown the back of the reel to see if there were any stickers on there to give some clue as to the tape type. I can certainly play 14" tapes on my machine - in fact I've just been playing a very similar looking tape from Michael Ball's Christmas show in 1995 just to check a new head out.
