Default Re: Quadruplex 2 inch tape

A quick update, I have just got a message back from the seller. It seems the tape is from the late 80s, so the chance it contains something missing is very slim, but it could still have something interesting on it and it would be neat to find out.

The college was Ravensbourne college in SE London where I was a student at the time in the late 80s. They had these 2" tape machines installed but they were hardly used and they decided to skip them and the spools as it was ancient tech even then, and the machines requires a source of compressed air as well as electricity. I have no idea what's on the tape, probably just test signals or recordings made by students.
