Default Re: Tape Deterioration on NOS LP Tapes

I also bought several new Quantegy reels as reserve stock when they recommenced production, but my 1970s BASF LP35LH reels have yet to fail me!

All tapes can suffer from long term storage, so run them through every so often. Keep them in a cool, dry place, normal humidity and away from radiators (heat increases print though on recorded tapes).
