Hi there,
Some time ago I bought a lot of around 200 7 inch reels recorded by a professional studio in 1987 and 1988. I can't remember the exact count but I think at least 33% are Ampex 456, there's a small number of Ampex 405 or 407 and the rest is all Maxell UD and XL1.
I have been told that the Maxell worked great but wanted to know about the Ampex. Are they still usable or will they deposit on the heads or stick ?
Thanks !
