    WTB: 2" Quantegy 499

    Looking to buy as many 2" tapes of Quantegy 499 as I can. I am not interested in Ampex 499...too many SSS problems. GP9 would be alright and 996 if you can guarantee it. I've purchased a few reels of 996 that were problematic. My number is 847 366-6253 Thanks, -Barrett
