Not to obsess, but... To correct something I said earlier, the Quantegy tape stocks I bought (~10 years ago) were not actually NOS. They were new stock & Quantegy was actually still in business, as well as being from a reputable "industry" tape house, where coincidentally the actual Quantegy...

... Amazon.com: Polaroid High Bias C-90 Minute Audio Cassette Tape 10pk: Electronics Here's another link for newly made Polaroid. However, these are just labeled C90 & not designated with model number C90M (M probably stands for music) & doesn't say "super high bias" (which is more of a...

Sorry, Dude. Sorry, Dude. :spank::eek:;)

Thanks again for the helpful & informative post. Of well over 100 reels of 1/4" & 1/2" tape I have, all but 4 were bought new or NOS from known a reputable media warehouse or outlet. Ampex/Quantegy is sealed, 3M is not sealed,... as you know. I'm not confused & I'm sure of the pedigree of this...

... I'm playing it by ear for a while. If almost all tape will be susceptible or succumb to this condition eventually, and it develops over years, vs. being quick to remedy & restore, I don't see any downside. Especially since a lot of susceptible or marginal tape I have is virgin NOS...

... I was dismayed to have some NOS 1/2" 3M 806 that went sticky on me after >10 years in temperate non-humid storage. Some of the tapes were 1 pass w/some tracks I did, but were originally NOS. Did the dehydrator thing. Haven't retested this batch, but the dehydrator did a good job on some...

Dude! Sweet! :spank::eek:;)

Wow! Love that M16! :spank::eek:;)

Sweet Deal Dude! :spank::eek:;)

Yeah! That one's exceptionally clean. :spank::eek:;)

Nice!... It's amazing what you do with these photos. :spank::eek:;)

Closing soon:... As-is, untested. Clean shape, probably belts or an easy fix. Maybe get lucky & it works 100%. Tascam 244 | eBay "Found in box in garage. Powers up when plugged in. I'm not sure if everything works on it. I have no idea how to work it. It's SOLD AS IS." :spank::eek:;)

... Sweet looking bass! :spank::eek:;)

I saw this thread. I may have a 244 I could come up with, given a minute or 2. I sold one last year & had one in mid-refurbishment last summer, (set aside & not finished), but I have more in boxes and bins that might be good candidates for you. I'd been refurbishing & calibrating the units...

... Sweet! :spank::eek:;)

Library of Congress: Weird! Pls post a link to that, if possible. Thanks. Due to the vertical-mount nature of the 112 cassette mech,... a standard old school component style cassette deck basically,... it's very likely the mech will have to be entirely removed from the chassis to do the...

There were 2 up on eBay this week. This one's still available: Fostex 460 Recorder Mixer | eBay It's a cassette 4-tracker. Maybe the best/most capable Fostex cassette multitracker ever made. YMMV. I don't own one. Some other day, maybe. :spank::eek:;)

Phantom... WAIT! About 10th in a series of pictures, I see that it DOES have phantom power! (I guess I missed it in the 3rd photo). Surprise, surprise! :spank::eek:;)

Not mine. The brick is the power module. It runs Dolby B and C, High & Low speeds. A pretty capable mixer with Aux Snd/Rcv patch points, (2) Aux Send submixes (1 mono & 1 stereo), and Solo. Neat.
