$122.00 4 reels of 456 7” Sticky Shed - Hope it’s Not You!

[Beck]

Four ¼” 7" reels of NIB 456... totally useless crap!!! The vast majority of open reel tape now on ebay, NOS or not is from the Sticky Shed era. It's too much to do what I used to do and list them all here every so often. I'm really shocked to see so many bidders as much information that's out there... just what I've put out there alone. WTF?

Just to refresh my memory...is the Ampex tape wih the logo at the bottom of the box considered good.????
Thought I read about that here sometime.

WTF $180!!!!!!!!!!! The seller probably knows full well that the tape is useless after all why did he bake it in the first place???????

some people seem to think tape is 'good as new' after being baked or something i guess.
