Default Re: Will these old tapes be playable?

Success has been my experience too. Tapes recorded in 1963 still play well on a twin track machine. Recording was on Civic (Collaro Studio deck two track) On this recrdr they are now playing back too fast. A knowledgeable friend suggests that the surface of the pinchwheel has hardened allowing slip and giving the take up reel a too free ride
