Vintage tape tests

[evm1024]

I've come across a few vintage tape tests. Er, The tape was not vintage at the time of the test but looking back we are reading a vintage test.

please feel free to post your links to historic and vintage tape information in this thread.

This link points to a Boston Audio society Newsletter from 1973 which reports on Maxell, Scotch etc tapes of the time. Interesting reading. Starts on Page 5 of the PDF.
